Andreas Thor

Andreas Thor is affiliated with the University of Applied Sciences for Telecommunications Leipzig, Germany. He has been actively publishing in computer science since 2004, with a focus on database systems, data integration, bibliometrics, and educational technology.

His research spans several domains, including database systems, entity resolution, ontology matching, and more recently, e-assessment and digital learning tools. He has made significant contributions to bibliometrics through the development and application of CRExplorer for Reference Publication Year Spectroscopy (RPYS). His work also includes the design of educational tools like DMT and FeeDI for automated assessment in higher education.

The recent articles (2021–2023) reflect a strong trend toward educational technology, particularly in the development of tools for e-assessment, Jupyter Notebook integration, and knowledge graphs for learning. Earlier works (2004–2012) focus on core database research such as entity resolution, data fusion, and MapReduce-based systems. The publications collectively demonstrate a transition from foundational database research to applied educational informatics.
