I am interested in finding new ways to model spatial and spatiotemporal information that incorporate both spatial and thematic aspects of data. I am also interested in finding new ways to integrate such models into database systems. This involves the investigation of spatial data management techniques, spatial query processing, and efficient algorithms for spatial operations and spatial data type verification. See my research page for more details. **Contents:** .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 research teaching * :ref:`search`
