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 - working to reduce world poverty one
project at a time!
My somewhat long and clunky Curriculum Vitae is available here in pdf; however, you might prefer the shorter 2-page
Resume in pdf.
I am also organizing the
Log Analytics for Cybersecurity Workshop for the local IT industry. Previously, I have organized the IEEE Cluster 2017 conference, the VLDB 2015 conference, the CIKM 2012 conference and the ICMLA 2011 conference.
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.
