Speaker: Lucas Braun

Lucas Braun is a consulting technical program manager and researcher at Oracle Labs Zurich. Being a database researcher at his core, he also started looking at how databases compose with programming languages and compilers in the context of Oracle Database Multilingual Engine. Lucas graduated from ETH with a doctoral degree in early 2017 and has become a regular guest lecturer at ETH, ZHAW and FHNW.

Lucas Braun received his doctoral degree from the Computer Science Department (Systems Group) of ETH Zurich in the beginning of 2017 and joined Oracle Labs Zurich right afterwards.


At Oracle Labs, Lucas is part of the team that develops the Oracle Database Multilingual Engine (MLE). This engine allows to use modern languages and tools to write and deploy database code.


MLE is enabled by GraalVM, a universal virtual machine for running applications written in JavaScript, Python, Ruby, R, JVM-based languages like Java, Scala, Kotlin, and LLVM-based languages such as C and C++.


During his doctoral research, Lucas studied the performance and confidentiality of cloud databases. Lucas also has a Computer Science teaching degree and has given various guest lectures at the applied universities of Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) and Zurich (ZHAW).
