About me

Manager, Data-Intensive Systems and Analytics
Research lab: Watson Research Center (Hawthorne)
I am a Research Staff Member and the Manager of the Data-Intensive Systems and Analytics Group at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. The current focuses of the group cover various aspects of developing data-intensive systems and analytics, including programming languages and models for data stream applications (SPADE for System S); advanced analytic algorithms and applications (Small Blue), including social network analysis, graph mining, text analytics, machine learning, and time series; and job management, job scheduling and resource management for large-scale, distributed, data-intensive systems (SODA and JMN for System S).
I am an IBM Master Inventor, a Fellow of the IEEE, and a member of the ACM. From 2000 to 2004, I was an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering. I also served as an organizing or program committee member for many international conferences and workshops. I have received several IBM awards, including an IBM Corporate Environmental Affair Excellence Award, an Outstanding Technical Achievement Award, a Research Division Award, and many Invention Achievement Awards. I have published extensively in various journals and refereed conferences. I also hold or have applied for many patents.
I received my B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science, both from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
