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 federated data science platforms.

Current Research projects at the CoDS lab:

• A Natural Language Platform for Querying RDF Graphs
• An Automatic Annotation Platform for Neuroscience Datasets
• A Federated Learning Platform for linked data and Knowledge Graphs
• Data Science Versioning Control with Explanation and Data Bias Detection Methods

Other Recent 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
