I am an Applied Scientist at Microsoft Search Labs, reporting directly to Rakesh Agrawal. Before joining Microsoft, I got a PhD at the University of Toronto, under the supervision of Renée J. Miller. My thesis was on the topic of query answering over inconsistent databases (this work was the basis of the ConQuer project at the University of Toronto). My main research interests include Web data mining, management of uncertain and inconsistent databases, and schema mapping.
