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. I am also the Manager of the InfoSphere Streams Language and Developer Tools Team, Information Management, IBM Software Group (SWG). The combined Research and SWG team currently engages in the product development of System S -- a software platform for large-scale, distributed stream processing -- focusing on the SPADE language and compiler, the SPADE IDE, the Admin/Config/Install tools, and the SPADE adapters and toolkits. In addition, we explore various research issues in data-intensive systems and analytics -- including programming language and model for stream processing; advanced analytic algorithms for stream applications; job management and scheduling, resource management and system optimization for large-scale distributed systems.

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.
