Profile
Ingmar (ingmar_at_yahoo-inc_dot_com) obtained his BA (2002) and MA (2003) in mathematics from Cambridge University before doing his PhD thesis (2007) at the Max-Planck Institute for Computer Science in Germany. His dissertation dealt with efficient data structures for and applications of a more interactive search engine called CompleteSearch. CompleteSearch now provides public search services for DBLP, the largest database of publications in computer science. Before joining Yahoo! Research he was a postdoc at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and was also a visiting researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge.
His research interests include web mining, sponsored search, social networks and efficient algorithms. He is a devoted Couchsurfing member, enjoys doing ultra triathlons and loves candy.
