I am
a Ph.D student at the Computer Science Department, University of Illinois at
Urbana Champaign.
My advisor is Prof. Marianne
Winslett.
I am interested in data and information management in a broad sense, including large scale data management, human centric data management, social data management, data mining, information retrieval, and semantic Web.
In my research, I have created, deployed, and evaluated large scale systems with principled foundations that help users of data-intensive
applications search and explore data and information easily, effectively, efficiently, and reliably. You can find more about my research here.
I am graduating in 2012 and seeking a job in academia and industry. Please find my CV
