I am an Assistant 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.
Research
My research interests lie in the data management area and includes
database query optimization, statistics and selectivity estimation, XML
databases, stream processing, data warehousing, ontologies and semantic
queries, etc. 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. My research work is
published mainly in the SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE, CIKM, AMIA conferences.

Personal
In my free time (which is not much these days with 2 small kids), I enjoy
hiking and chinese 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).
I am also teaching I-Liq Chuan in the
Internal Kung Fu and
Tai Chi Push Hands course offered by the
University of Hawaii
Student Recreational Services S.P. Fit Program.
