I'm a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Computer Science
at the University of Toronto.
I am working with
When I came here, for a short time I also worked with Prof. Alberto Mendelzon.
Sadly, Alberto passed away last June. May is memory be blessed!
I am a member of the UofT Database Group.
Research Interests:
Most of my research is in database theory.
Specific interest topics of mine are: the semistructured data
model and XML, query languages for semistructured data, dealing
with incomplete information, access-control and security in database
systems.
