Research Interests

In general, I'm interested in new database systems for non-traditional architecture and non-traditional data. Currently, I'm leading a team of students working on:

  • Disaggregated Databases (for the Cloud)
    • Memory & Storage Disaggregation
    • Distributed Shared-Memory & Distributed Shared-Storage Databases
    • [Recent Papers: VLDB'23, SIGMOD'23, and ICDE'23]
  • Vector Databases (for Large Language Models)
    • Supporting Vector Data Management inside Relational Databases
    • Serverless Vector Databases for Cost-Efficiency and Elasticity
    • [Recent Papers: Vector DB Survey, SIGMOD'21 and ICDT'19]
