My name is Oktie Hassanzadeh. I joined IBM Research in December 2011. Before that, I was a PhD candidate and an IBM PhD Fellow in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. I worked in the Database Research Group under the supervision of Renée J. Miller (ACM Fellow and Bell University Labs Chair of Information Systems). My current research interests are:
  • Big Data Exploration & Curation
  • Information Integration, Semantic Link Discovery
  • Web Data Management
