About me

Research Staff Member, Ph.D.
Research lab: Watson Research Center (Hawthorne)
I received my Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Copenhagen (DIKU) in 1996 on research in using formal rewriting systems to understand the operational semantics and memory management in functional programming languages. I continued academic research for four years, principally as an associate professor at Ecole Normale Supérieure (LIP) in Lyon, France, investigating and further developing results in rewriting, especially explicit substitution.
Since joining the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in 2000, I have focused on making XML processing scalable even over diverse and distributed data sources, including large data collections and data not in XML, by applying advanced programming language and database query analysis techniques to the XML processing languages XSLT and XQuery.
