Colloquia / Seminars / Industry Talks

Big data have posed various research challenges in data management systems. In this talk, I will present our recent research efforts in making big data management systems faster and greener. Particularly, two studies will be presented: one is to optimize the efficiency of large graph processing performance in the cloud, and the other is to leverage renewable energy in database systems aiming at zero-emission databases. Finally, I will outline our research agenda in architecting the future faster and green big data management systems.

Dr. Bingsheng He is currently an Assistant Professor at Division of Networks and Distributed Systems, School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological University. Before that, he was worked for Microsoft Research Asia (2008-2010), where his major research was building high performance cloud computing systems for Microsoft. He got the Bachelor degree in Shanghai Jiao Tong University (1999-2003), and the Ph.D. degree in Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (2003-2008). His current research interests include cloud computing, database systems and high performance computing (with a focus on GPGPU). His papers are published in prestigious international journals and proceedings such as ACM TODS, IEEE TKDE, ACM SIGMOD, VLDB/PVLDB, ACM/IEEE SuperComputing, ACM PACT, ACM SoCC, and CIDR. He has been awarded the IBM Ph.D. fellowship (2007-2008) and NVIDIA Academic Partnership (2010-2011).
