    Resume

 

 

 

    I am currently a phd student of  Computer Science Department at WPI. I started my study at WPI since 2005 and got my Master Degree in Computer Science on 2007. I expect to finish my phd program no later than May, 2011.

 

 My advisors are Professor Elke Rundersteiner and Professor Matthew Ward, and I am a member of both Database System Research Group and XMDV (Data visualization) Group at WPI.

 

 My research interest includes but not limited to:

   Algorithm Design.

   Traditional/Streaming Query Processing.

   Data Mining.

       Data Visualization.      

   Knowledge Management System.

 

I have been working on a broad range of research projects, involving both system development and writing research papers, which you can find the details in my resume.
