Academics
I am a student of
Professor Jagadish’s and a member of the
database group here at Michigan.
I will be graduating in 2004, and
I am currently applying for teaching positions
for the 2004–2005 academic year.
Research
Currently, I am involved in various aspects of the
TIMBER Project (TIMBER is a native XML database
that we have developed here at the UM).
My main research emphases have been:
- ProTDB - Representing and querying probabilistic data in XML.
- Incremental view maintenance for XML.
- Detecting structural similarity between XML documents.
If any of this interests you, please check out my recent papers below
(some of them are also available at
DBLP).

Additionally, over the past few years, I have
done work in computer music,
digital libraries,
data mining,
and the analysis of reputation systems
(such as
those used on eBay).
I have also reviewed papers for
SIGMOD,
VLDB,
KDD,
ICDE,
EDBT,
CSCW,
and
TKDE.
Teaching
I’m currently employed as a
Graduate Student Mentor
by the University. This has been a great experience. I’ve been attending
various teaching seminars and workshops, and I help
graduate student instructors
with their teaching.
My first few years of graduate school involved a lot more teaching (and coursework),
and a lot less research.
I’m looking forward to getting back in the classroom
after a bit of a hiatus.
Here are my (somewhat) recent teaching experiences at the University of Michigan, as well
as an artificial intelligence
course that I designed and taught at the University of Toledo, Ohio.
