I am an Associate Professor in the Information and Computer
Sciences Department at the University of Hawaii at
Manoa. Prior to my current appointment, I was a Research
Staff Member at the
IBM Thomas J Watson Research Center between 2004 and
2009. I received my Ph.D.
in Computer Science from Duke University in 2004 and my
M.Sc., B.Sc. in Computer Science from the National University of
Singapore in 1999 and 1998 respectively.
I am also honored to serve as an IT consultant on several World Bank projects in China, Mongolia, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
My Curriculum Vitae is available here: pdf.
Research
My research interests lie in big data management and includes
data science, query optimization, non-relational data models, stream
processing, business intelligence, data warehousing, ontologies,
semantic queries, and data mining. While at IBM, I had the pleasure
of doing advanced development for DB2 9 pureXML, DB2 Index
Compression and Infosphere streams, as well as filing over 25 patent
applications.
More recently I am focusing on the following areas:
- deep learning for plant identification in natural images
- blockchain applications
- data analytics for renewable energy applications (solar irradiance)

Personal
In my free time (which is not much these days with 2 small kids), I enjoy
hiking and training martial arts. In particular, I used to practice and teach
Chen Style Taijiquan (aka Tai Chi), but my focus now is on
I-Liq Chuan (意力拳) ( for classes in Honolulu, HI
see
I-Liq Chuan (Hawaii) and
Kalis Illustrissimo.
I also teach and promote I-Liq Chuan as part of the activities of the
Internal Martial Arts Club at UHM Registered Independent Organization (RIO) at the University of Hawai`i at Manoa.
