Welcome

Welcome to my homepage. I am a PhD student at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland at College Park. My advisors are Prof. Amol Deshpande and Prof. Lise Getoor.

Research Interests

My research interests are in database management systems and machine learning, specifically, over graph-structured data. I work on various problems related to graph databases, graph querying, graph analytics and graph-structured data cleaning. In this context, problems that I work with most include subgraph pattern matching for large graphs, querying uncertain graphs, graph indexing, ego-centric graph analysis, collective classification, link prediction and entity resolution.
