| My research interests delve into answering fundamental questions that arise in data management. There is an explosive growth in the amount of data that is being collected by organizations. A need has emerged for efficiently storing, retrieving, analyzing, summarizing and maintaining such data. Solutions range from developing databases, query languages and solving classical problems in database theory to developing efficient methods for computing succinct summaries or models of such massive datasets. Also included in the process of finding solutions is a suite of techniques from other fields - some being direct applications while others are adaptations of the existing methods to model the domain. The fields include combinatorics, graph theory, algorithms and data structures, statistics and AI to name a few. |
