Coming Events & News

 

·        A collaboration work with a researcher in Biology is accepted for publication in 13th International Conference on Bioinformatics & Computational Biology.

 

·        I’m honored to be invited to review NSF (National Science Foundation)/IIS(Information and Intelligent Systems) grant proposals, May 2012.

 

·        Congratulation!! Hima Vasudevan has successfully completed her graduate research thesis defense on April 16, 2012.

 

·        A collaboration work with a researcher in Education area was accepted for publication in International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM)  The EDM is an internationally known conference which has a specialty in educational data mining. The proceedings of this conference include works to study how to apply data mining to analyze data generated by various information systems supporting learning or education.     

 

·        I serve as one of panelists in “Women Pursuing A Career in Engineering” workshop sponsored by the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs, IPFW.  The panel discussion is from noon to 1:15pm, on Mar 25, 2012, at Walb Student Union.  Welcome both female and male students.

 

·        I have received 2012 PRF Summer Faculty Grant for Research from Purdue University.

 

·        I’m serving as a program committee for 20th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems (ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2012), Redondo Beach, CA, November 6 to 9.  ACM SIGSPAITAL GIS aims bringing together researchers, developers and users in relation to theory and systems based on geo-spatial data and knowledge and discussing for advances of computer science  in geographic information systems.

 

·        Congratulation!! A work with Mark Bow (“Mining Spatial Colocation Pattern: A Different Framework”) has been published in Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery Journal which is ranked “Top One” in  top journals in Data Mining at Microsoft Academic search.  The Online First TM version is available here.       

 

·      I’m serving as a program committee for International Conference on Smart Systems, Devices and Technologies (SMART 2012).

Education

I received the Ph.D. in Computer Science at University of Minnesota, Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul), in 2007. I also got the Master degree in Computer Science during the PhD work (2006).  I have two Bachelor degrees in Computer Science & Engineering, and Statistics from Korea University in (South) Korea.

 


Research

My research area is databases and data mining. I’m particularly interested in data management and knowledge discovery for nontraditional data such as spatial, temporal, spatio-temporal data (including moving object data), graph/network data and scientific data.  Location based computing, information and services are closely related.  Students are welcome to work with me in all areas of data mining, database and related applications.
