Ask HN: Who needs funding for DB research?

This is the sibling post of “Who wants to fund DB research?“ [1], please see that post for context. In short, if you are working on non-AI related DB topics and are looking for funding, leave a comment below with a short summary of your work. I’m focusing on non-AI areas because their funding has been declining largely due to the spending on AI. Format:
