Marton Bur

I am a Software Engineer currently living in Zürich, Switzerland. I work for RelationalAI, and my job revolves around solving Knowledge Engineering challenges related to creating scalable enterprise-wide semantic layers. Between 2017 and 2021, I lived in Montréal, Canada, where I earned my PhD degree at McGill University’s Electrical and Computer Engineering Department under the supervision of Professor Dániel Varró. The title of my thesis is Query-Based Runtime Monitoring in Real-Time and Distributed Systems.

Before attending McGill University, I studied Software Engineering at Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), Hungary, and I worked at Fault Tolerant Systems Research Group (FTSRG). I earned my BSc and MSc degrees in Software Engineering in January 2014 and 2016, respectively, at BME’s Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics.

Research Interests

My main focus is on semantic layers and how they can be applied to the modern data stack:

  • Knowledge graphs for enterprise-wide semantic layers

  • Conceptual modeling

  • Adaptation of existing semantic standards for the modern data stack

Formerly I have worked in the following areas:

  • Model-based software engineering

  • Runtime monitoring of distributed cyber-physical systems

  • Models@run.time for IoT and cyber-physical systems

  • Local search-based graph pattern matching

Teaching Activities

Project involvements

  • MoDeS3: Model-Based Demonstrator for Smart and Safe Cyber-Physical Systems.

  • VIATRA: a high performance graph search framework for EMF models. The project is maintained by the Eclipse Foundation.

  • Massif: Matlab-Simulink Integration Framework for Eclipse.

  • MONDO: this project aims to develop model-based development tools that are able to tackle scalability needs in MDE.
