Background
I am a fourth year PhD student with the Penn Database Research Group,
where my advisor at Penn is Prof. Zack Ives. Before going to
Penn, I was a student at Harvey Mudd
College in Claremont, Calif., where I received a B.S. in Computer
Science in 2004. During college, I worked as an intern with the TILLinG
project at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Wash.,
as well as with the WebFountain Project at IBM's Almaden Research Center in San Jose,
Calif.
Academic Interests
I'm interested in a number of problems related to data
integeration and data sharing, such as adaptive query processing, distributed query processing,
and peer-to-peer database systems.
Coursework
Courses I have completed at Penn include:
- CIS 500: Software Foundations
- CIS 501: Computer Architecture
- CIS 502: Analysis of Algorithms
- CIS 511: Theory of Computation
- CIS 650: Advanced Topics in Databases (Fall '04: XML and Web Services,
Spring '05: Implementation of Data Management Systems)
- CIS 680: Friendly Logics
I also was a TA for the following courses:
- CSE330: Database Management Systems (Fall '05 and Fall '06)
- CSE455/CIS555: Internet and Web Systems (Spring '06)
