My name is Mengmeng Liu.

I am a third year Ph.D. student in the Computer and Information Science department at the University of Pennsylvania. I'm proud to be a member of the friendly DBGroup at Penn. My research interests include distributed database systems, data streams and data integration. I am co-advised by Zack Ives and Boon Thau Loo.

Before coming to Penn, I completed my undergraduate study at Fudan University, Shanghai, China. Shanghai is my hometown and I miss everything there. Now I have lived in Philadelphia for almost two years, life treats me well so far. Apart from normal Ph.D. study, I enjoy playing piano, running and biking.

Here is my Curricum Vitae.
