I am a PhD student in the Data and Information Systems Lab, at the Department of Computer Science, University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign. My advisor is Prof. Marianne Winslett and my co-advisor is Prof. ChengXiang Zhai
Research Interest
I have a broad interest on in the areas of
database and data mining. My current research is focused on creating
easy-to-use information search and discovery interfaces for
semi-structured and structured data sources. There are tremendous
amount of semi-structured and structured data on the Web, scientific
communities, and enterprises. However, ordinary users cannot take
advantage of these collections as they are not familiar with the
concepts such as schemas and
query languages. Also, the structural informaton evolves very rapidly.
I use methods from statistics, information theory, and
information retrieval to develop domain independent search and
discovery systems for these data sources. I also work on inforamtion
extraction from unstructured and semi-structured data and content-based
information integration.
Apart from this, I have also worked on Maitri: A data-management system for scientific data.
