Recent Career Highlights
I passed my oral qualifying exam (May 2007), making me a Ph.D. candidate, with dissertation title "Supporting knowledge discovery in data stream management systems". A copy of my qual proposal can be found here(pdf). I also got married to my not-so-techie wife in Dec 2006. I started my Ph.D. in September 2003 and I have been doing research with Professor Zaniolo since then. I worked as a research intern at Google for summer 2007 on click stream analysis. I also worked as a research intern at IBM Almaden Research Center for summer 2005 and 2006, where I focused on different research areas such as sequence query langugages, Web 2.0 enterprise applications, RFID data analysis and cleansing, etc. I received my M.S. and B.S. degrees in Computer Science from UCLA in March 2005 and September 2003, respectively. For the last year and half of my B.S. I was also working at Citibank as a Quality Assuarance intern. I transferred to UCLA in January 2002 from Wright State University, Ohio.
