Career

Madden was born and raised in San Diego, California. After completing bachelor's and master's degrees at MIT, he earned a Ph.D. specializing in database management at the University of California Berkeley under Michael Franklin and Joseph M. Hellerstein. Before joining MIT as a tenure-track professor, Madden held a post-doc position at Intel's Berkeley Research center.^[3][4][5][6]

Madden has been involved in a number database research projects, including TinyDB,^[1] TelegraphCQ,^[2] Aurora/Borealis, C-Store, and H-Store. In 2005, at the age of 29 he was named to the TR35 as one of the Top 35 Innovators Under 35 by MIT Technology Review magazine.^[7][8] Recent projects include DataHub - a "github for data" platform that provides hosted database storage, versioning, ingest, search, and visualization (commercialized as Instabase), CarTel - a distributed wireless platform that monitors traffic and on-board diagnostic conditions in order to generate road surface reports, and Relational Cloud - a project investigating research issues in building a database-as-a-service.^{[citation needed]} Madden's has published more than 250 scholarly articles, with more than 59,000 citations, with an h-index of 101.^[9]

In addition, Madden is a co-founder of Cambridge Mobile Telematics^[10] and Vertica Systems. Before enrolling at MIT and while an undergraduate student there, Madden wrote printer driver software for Palomar Software, a San Diego-area Macintosh software company. He is also a Technology Expert Partner at Omega Venture Partners.^[11][12]
