Brief Biography:
-
From November 2005, I have been working in Yahoo! Applied Research Group, located in Bay area. BTW, Yahoo! is hiring top-talented people. If you are interested in a position with Yahoo!, please drop me a message.
Before joining Yahoo!, I studied Computer Science at University of Southern California, and got the PhD degree in August 2005. Previously, I worked as a research assistant for Dr. Dennis McLeod at Integrated Media Systems Center, and TAed Distributed Multimedia Information Management (Spring 2004, Spring 2005), Database Systems (Fall 2001, Fall 2003), Spatial and Temporal Databases (Fall 2000), and Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence (Spring 2002, Fall 2002, Spring 2003). My main research interests include data mining, information retrieval, ontologies, Web search, and bioinformatics.
Research Projects:
- Time-series Data Mining
- I4 (Immersive, Interactive, Individualized Information)
- Semantic Information Representation and Ontologies
- Information Management for Multimedia Earthquake Science Data
- Ontology-Driven Microarray Analysis
- Mining from Multiple Genome Data Types (e.g., Gene Expressions, Protein-Protein Interactions, Medical Paper Abstracts)
