Research

Areas of Research

Activities

My research interests have been very wide ranging over the last two plus decades.  My current interests are in the area of Privacy Preserving Data Repositories. I have a variety of interests under the general umbrella of privacy including protecting privacy in mobile applications, its impact on data analytics, and how to architect and design database management systems so they respect user privacy.

There are several other ares that I have worked in over the past several years and still periodically undertake work in those areas but I am not actively seeking collaborations in them. However, privacy has a wide range of applications including its application in mobile environments, tracking data provence, and its application in a variety of different disciplines and applications.

The list to the left is ordered in approximately the chronological order of my contributions but they are also not disjoint. Thus, work privacy has very interesting challenges in a distributed database environment as does the integration of legacy systems when database merge such as in a multidatabase environment.
