Research Interests:
I am a researcher at Intel Labs Pittsburgh (in the CIC building on CMU campus). I am looking for a Post Doc to work on exploiting new memory technologies for database systems in the Hi-Spade project (http://www.pittsburgh.intel-research.net/projects/hi-spade/). Flash-based Solid State Drives (SSDs) are becoming more and more popular in mainstream computing today. Phase change memory is a promising non-volatile memory technology to replace DRAM main memory in 5-10 years. These new memory technologies are dramatically changing the traditional memory hierarchy. It is important to understand the impact of and exploit the new hierarchy for data-intensive applications. In the Hi-Spade project, we are particularly interested in exploiting the new memory technologies for important database operations in OLTP and data warehousing. I published papers mainly in database systems and computer architecture, including award-winning papers in ICDE, SIGMOD, and ISCA. I have served on program committees of all major database conferences (SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE).
