Aditya Parameswaran

I'm Aditya Parameswaran, a soon-to-be Assistant Professor in Computer Science at UIUC (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign).

I completed my PhD in Computer Science at Stanford University in 2013. I am visiting MIT CSAIL and Microsoft Research New England in 2013-14, before starting at Illinois.

For more information: my up-to-date resume is available here. Here is my research statement and short bio. Here is my Google Scholar profile, and here is a link to my DBLP page.

My research interests are broadly in simplifying and improving data analytics, i.e., helping users make better use of their data. My work involves building real data analytics systems with principled foundations, designing algorithms (with formal guarantees) for the systems, as well as mining data obtained from such systems.

My PhD thesis was on crowd-powered data management  —  using crowdsourcing to process and make sense of large volumes of data. In the past, I have also worked extensively on recommendation systems, information extraction, search, and data integration.

My current research, in addition to the areas listed above, includes: scalable visual analytics, i.e., enabling querying and recommendations of very large visual summaries of data, and approximate and interactive query processing, i.e., generating query results quickly while sacrificing slightly on accuracy.

Bio

Aditya Parameswaran is a soon-to-be (starting June 2014) Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). He is currently spending the year visiting MIT CSAIL and Microsoft Research New England, after completing his Ph.D. from Stanford University in September 2013, advised by Prof. Hector Garcia-Molina. He is broadly interested in data analytics and management, with research results in human computation, visual analytics, information extraction and integration, and recommendation systems. Aditya is a recipient of the Arthur Samuel award for the best dissertation in Computer Science at Stanford University (2013), the Key Scientific Challenges Award from Yahoo! Research (2010), two best-of-conference citations (VLDB 2010 and KDD 2012), the Terry Groswith graduate fellowship at Stanford University (2007), and the Gold Medal in Computer Science at IIT Bombay (2007).

Synergistic Activities

I am currently serving on the Program Committees of: VLDB 2013-14, WWW 2014, SIGMOD 2014-15, SOCC 2014, HCOMP 2014, ICDE 2014, and EDBT 2014.
