:: About me / Research interests

Welcome to my website! I am a third year Ph.D. student at the University of Florida CISE department and a member of the Database Center, where I work under the supervision of Dr. Chris Jermaine and Dr. Alin Dobra. My research work is focused on database management systems, specifically probabilistic databases and approximate query processing. Currently, I am involved in two different projects: the MCDB Monte-Carlo database system for uncertain data management and the DBO scalable approximate query processing engine. As for my hobbies... I have lots of hobbies. Also, this page was written using the greatest editor on Earth.
