My research interest is in building systems and designing algorithms to support better data analysis, where better can mean: more efficient/scalable, more advanced (using statistical machine learning), more accurate, more interactive, self-improving, and easier to use. I pursue research topics such as probabilistic databases, in-database information extraction, large-scale advanced data analysis, and query-driven interactive machine learning. Currently, I am particularly interested in enabling data management systems with statistical and probabilistic models and tools.
I am currently looking for new graduate students. For more information, please refer to Prospective Students.
I am a member of the UFL Database Group.

A Parable of Modern Research
Bob has lost his keys in a room which is dark except for one brightly lit corner.
“Why are you looking under the light, you lost them in the dark!”
“I can only see here.”
