I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University at Buffalo. My research is on large-scale graph mining and management. I develop algorithms to enable practical and insightful graph analytics for the real-world data which can be large, streaming, incomplete, and noisy.

Previously, I was the John von Neumann Post-doctoral Fellow at Sandia National Labs in Livermore, CA. I got my Ph.D. from the Computer Science and Engineering Department at the Ohio State University under the supervision of Ümit V. Çatalyürek (now at Georgia Tech).

I am looking for self-motivated and hardworking Ph.D. students who are interested in graph mining and management.
If you are interested, please email me with your CV and transcript.
