Research Assistant, University of California, Riverside Advisor: Dr. Ahmed Eldawy
We are working on building a Data Lakehouse system for incrementally combining data synopses. This system use the data synopses to help users to perform approximate OLAP queries over Data Lake. This work is under submission.
Worked on building a quality-aware progressive join framework, which can progressive process equi-join and spatial join. Based on the framework, we build a system that can handle relational and spatial data and visualize the query results.

Worked on building LSM-tree based database.
Sep. 2019 - Jun. 2021
Research Assistant, University of California, Riverside Advisor: Dr. Vagelis Hristidis
Worked on optimizing LSM-tree based database. We are trying to come up with a new merge policy for improving the read performance of the LSM-tree based database.
Jan. 2017 - Dec. 2018
Research Assistant, Washington State University
Advisor: Dr. Yinghui Wu
Worked on designing Kronos system. The system aims to automatically extract highly dynamic knowledge for complex event analysis in Cyber-Physical systems. I worked on building a dynamic knowledge base, and incremental association analysis for event detection and linkage.
Worked on graph exploration projects and published two papers and one patent related to this topic. We developed a system called GExp. GExp interleaves keyword query suggestion, which generates keyword queries that expand the original query and query evaluation, which returns the answers to suggested queries for feedback. Totally, there are three baseline algorithms to find the initial query results, I worked on implementing one of them. Also, I worked on building the evaluation matrices of query suggestions.
