Research
- Hekaton: main-memory database
Hekaton is a main-memory OLTP query engine built in Microsoft SQL Server 2014. I built a prototype on Hekaton to support non-volatile memory (NVM) during my internship at Microsoft Research in 2013 summer.
- Query processing on NUMA machines
Non-uniform memory access (NUMA) systems have emerged in recent years. Database query processing on these new systems have to be aware of the underlying hardware architecture. We are designing an innovative query execution engine for NUMA machines.
- Managing RDF data in graphs
We model RDF data in its native form: the graph. RDF graphs are stored in a distributed in-memory graph engine, Trinity. We propose algorithms for SPARQL query processing and query optimization on such RDF graphs. This work is done during my internship at MSRA.
- PhenoMining
In 2011 summer, I am fortunate to work with Prof. Wesley Chu in CoBase Group UCLA to work on an advanced text mining tool for neuroscience research. I designed and implemented the PathMining tool which is used to extract relations between multi-level medical concepts.
- Spatial data indexing and querying
I worked on several spatial data querying projects in my undergraduate research, e.g. variants of nearest neighbor and reverse nearest neighbor query processing in spatial databases.
