Research interests:

Entity resolution, Data Matching, Large-scale Indexing, Record Linkage, Parallel Computing.

The goal of my research project is to develop new techniques for efficient real-time identity verification on multiple large dynamic databases that contain validated entities and records of known fraud. The specific objectives are to develop parallel indexing techniques for entity resolution that enable real-time matching of a stream of query records with several large databases.
