Research, Projects and Publications

My research interest is in database systems, specifically main memory (processor-in-memory databases), and data management, specifically data profiling. Current projects, include:

DoricStore, a Column-Store for emerging hardware.
BigData Rules (BDR), discovering business rules from data profiling.

My projects are supported by the AWS Cloud Credits for Research program, the NVIDIA Corporation and the C3SL group.
