Research interests:

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

The goal of Banda's research project is to develop new techniques for efficient real-time entity resolution for multiple large dynamic databases. The specific objectives are to develop parallel indexing techniques that enable real-time matching of a stream of query records with several large databases.
