FWIW, I think Postgres will do very well as a base for your project.
But some might say I'm biased ;-)

Postgres was originally designed and built as a research tool, and it
still bears obvious traces of that heritage, even though the current
developers are almost single-mindedly focused on turning it into a
production tool.  You might find this entertaining:

I'm not personally convinced that materialized views would be a great
thing to add to Postgres, but I look forward to being proven wrong.
Please keep us posted on your results.

PS: BTW, pgsql-hackers is probably a better list than pgsql-general for
discussing research work with Postgres.
