I'm a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at the University of Southern California (USC), and a research assistant in the Semantic Information Research Group at Integrated Media Systems Center (IMSC) working with Dr. Dennis McLeod.

Research ...............................................................

The need to search for complex and recurring patterns in database sequences and data streams is shared by many applications. I am interested in research on how to express and support efficiently sophisticated sequential pattern queries in data streams and multi-dimensional environments.
