Education and Previous Appointments:
I recieved my M.A and my Ph.D. from
Princeton University
, in 1992 and 1995
respectively.
I received my B.S. from the
University of Patras
, Greece, in 1990.
Before coming to UCR I held a Research Associate position in
IBM Almaden
, from 10/1996 to 12/1998, and a Postdoctoral position in the
Max-Plank-Institut
for Informatik, in Saarbruecken, Germany, from 9/1995 to 8/1996.
I was
also a visiting researcher at the
Univ. of Helsinki
, Finland, during 9/1996
and 10/1996.
Research Interests
My research topics include data mining and knowledge discovery in databases,
data bases, design and analysis of algorithms and computational geometry.
My
current research interests include efficient indexing techniques for moving
points, approximating range queries, similarity searching in sequence
databases, local adaptive classification techniques, information
retrieval in peer-to-peer systems, and analysis of sensor data.
Latest Research Results:
-
Information retrieval techniques for peer-to-peer systems.
-
Similarity and indexing techniques for object trajectories.
-
Efficient external memory data structures for indexing mobile objects.
-
Clustering high-dimensional datasets.
-
Algorithms for finding maximal frequent sets.
