I have defended my PhD thesis "On Indexing Text Documents for Fast Evaluation of Regular Expressions". I work for LinkedIn Corp now. I was a PhD student in the database group in the CS Department of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. My advisor is Prof. AnHai Doan. I got my Bachelor and Master of Science in Computer Sciences from School of Computing, National University of Singapore. Here is my resume [ps].

Research
- Information Extraction [We study how to apply database techniques like indexing, efficient query processing to manage information extraction processes...]
- XML Query Processing [We investigate the application of a novel join technique called Holistic Twig Join to process XPath query on XML data]
- Programming Language/Embedded Program Analysis [We applied statistical and static analysis on program codes to detect bugs or improve the performance]

Personal
Sports is always part of my life since I was a kid. Currently I play tennis regularly and enjoy jogging/weightlifting when it rains. I also like sailing thanks to the great Lake Mendota and UW's hoofer sailing clubs.
