PHD STUDENT POSITIONS IN BIG DATA AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE COUNTY


I'm looking for new PhD students to conduct Big Data related research. Students will be funded through research assistantships and/or teaching assistantships.

My research

My research interests include Big Data, Scientific Workflow, Distributed Computing, Service-Oriented Computing, End-User Programming. I have published over 60 papers with 800+ citations. My research focuses on usability/programmability at front end and execution optimization at back end for these Big Data applications. I am particularly interested in using workflow-based approach to build and execute two types of applications: Big Batch Data applications and Big Stream Data applications. My research is often from real-world applications, built on top of real systems, such as Hadoop, Storm and Spark.

Since joining UMBC in August 2015, I have received grants from NSF, DOE, state government, industry and UMBC (over $1.2 million dollars in total) as PI (Principal Investigator) or Co-PI. I'm currently advising three PhD students. I'm also serving as organization committee members in top conferences in my fields and editors in several international journals. See details of the current research projects at Research Projects.

Desired qualifications:

A BS or preferably an MS in Information Systems, Computer Science, Applied Maths or related areas.
Interested in and/or familiar with Big Data techniques (e.g. MapReduce) and systems (e.g. Hadoop and Spark)
Some background on Data Mining and Machine Learning
Good programming experience and/or mathematical theory background on scheduling and optimization
