Azim Afroozeh

I’m a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Database Architectures (DA) group at CWI (Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica) in the Netherlands.

My research focuses on data systems, file formats, and data compression. I recently completed my PhD at CWI, where I designed FastLanes, a next-generation file format optimized for modern hardware, including SIMD and GPU acceleration. I’m passionate about building high-performance systems for big data and exploring how storage architectures can evolve to meet future demands.
