Welcome

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer-Science and Software Engineering at Concordia University in Montreal, and the head of the Concordia Data Systems (CoDS) lab. My research interests are in the broad areas of parallel/distributed systems, data management, and machine learning for developing scalable systems for big data. My current research focuses on the following areas:

• Discovery and analytics on large datasets
• Parallel query processing on large graphs and strings
• Distributed and federated RDF engines for linked data
• A unified infrastructure for cyber security applications

Recent and Current Research Projects

• The Data Civilizer System
• Managing Linked Data at Scale: Querying, Integrating, and Sharing
• Elastic in-memory OLTP Systems
• Large-scale Analytics on Strings
