[交流] PHD STUDENT POSITIONS IN BIG DATA AT UMBC

Please contact the professor directly by email if you have questions. Thanks.

PHD STUDENT POSITIONS IN BIG DATA AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE COUNTY

I’m looking for new PhD students to start in Fall 2016 to conduct Big Data related research. Students will be funded through research assistantships and/or teaching assistantships.

My research
My research interests include Big Data, Scientific Workflow, Distributed Computing, Service-Oriented Computing, End-User Programming. An important aspect of Big Data applications is that these applications typically involve many phases, such as data ingestion, preparation, integration, analysis, visualization and dissemination. My research focuses on usability/programmability at front end —and execution optimization at back end for these Big Data applications. I’m particularly interested in using workflow-based approach to build and execute two types of applications: Big Batch Data applications and Big Stream Data applications. My research is often from real-world applications, built on top of real systems, such as Hadoop, Storm and Spark.

Desired qualifications
- A BS or preferably an MS in CS, IS, Applied Maths or related areas.
- Good programming experience and/or mathematical theory background on scheduling and optimization
- Interested in and/or familiar with Big Data techniques (e.g. MapReduce) and systems (e.g. Hadoop and Spark)
- Some background on Data Mining and Machine Learning
