About

I am an Associate Professor of Computer Science at UMass Amherst, where I co-lead the DREAM Lab. My research spans data systems, artificial intelligence, and distributed computing. I am particularly interested in building systems that make it easier to apply AI to complex data management problems efficiently and at scale. My work has been recognized with an NSF CAREER Award and the DSN Test-of-Time Award.
