I direct the Data-Intensive Analysis and Computing (DIAC) Lab at Wright State University, and also affiliated with the Ohio Center of Excellence in Knowledge-Enabled Computing (the Kno.e.sis Center). Before joining Wright State, I have been a senior scientist in Yahoo! Labs during 2006-2008. I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the College of Computing, Georgia Tech, in 2006.

Papers in 2011: Cresp - optimal MapReduce resource allocation, CloudVista - cloud-based data exploration, RASP encryption
Our research on cloud computing is supported by Amazon Web Services Research Grants!

I am looking for highly motivated students who are interested in doing research in data-intensive distributed computing and large-data analysis. Please stop by my office or email me (with your CV) if you are interested in working with me.

Research Interests

I am interested in topics related to data intensive computing and analysis, including but not limited to

Secure and privacy-preserving computing;
Databases, data mining, and scalable learning algorithms;
Visual analytics;
Web science: learning to rank, ranking function adaptation, anti-spamming, and social computing

Cresp: Cloud resource provisioning for large scale MapReduce programs.
RASP: random space encryption for efficient multidimensional range query on encrypted databases
CloudVista: Interactive visual data analytics for extreme scale data in the cloud.
Trada: regression tree based domain adaptation
GBRank: Learning to rank with pairwise preference data in the regression framework
Geometric data perturbation for outsourced data mining
BestK: Categorical data clustering and validation
TransClusterTransactional data clustering and validation
Stream BestK: Change detection on categorical/transactional data streams
iVIBRATE: a visual framework for clustering large datasets
VISTA: visual rendering and validating clustering structures
