Research Interests:
An important theme in my work is the development of data management technology to address new problems introduced by emerging applications, including the Web and scientific applications. My recent research has focused on two main topics: scientific data management and Web mining. I work both on the development of core data management techniques and on applications that use these techniques. This gives me the opportunity to work with scientists in cool areas such as Environmental Sciences, Biology, Physics, and Graphics/Visualization. Some specific problems I am interested in include: provenance management (storage, querying, visualization), graph indexing and mining; infrastructure to support reproducible papers; large-scale (and Web) information integration; focused Web crawling; hidden Web crawling; data mining.
