RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

! May, 2002 Present: Research Assistant,

Department of Computer Science, Cornell University

Advisor: Jayavel Shanmugasundaram

September, 2003 Present

1. Develop Quark, a unifying and extensible database system which can uniformly

query over the mix of structured, unstructured and semi-structured data. I am

mainly working on the indexing and query processing components.

2. Design and develop a topology search engine in the Biozon database. We

introduce and formalize the notion of topology in a database, and develop

efficient algorithms to evaluate topology results based on user queries.

September, 2002 May, 2003

Design and develop a family of novel inverted lists and query algorithms for

Structured Value Ranking (SVR) in update-intensive relational databases.

May, 2002 September, 2002

Design and implement XRank, an efficient search engine which produces

ranked results for keyword search queries over XML documents

! May, 2003 September, 2003: Summer Intern

IBM Almaden Research Center

Mentor: Kevin Beyer

Extend the keyword search functionalities of the DB2 database management

system.

! September, 2000 July, 2001

Networking and Distributed System Laboratory,

Computer Science Department, Peking University

Advisor: Xiaoming Li

Develop the Tianwang (http://e.pku.edu.cn/) system, an efficient web search

engine which supports both Chinese and English keyword search queries. I

mainly worked on the multicast communication component.
