General Information:
I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Michigan State University. I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Minnesota. My research focuses on the development and application of data mining algorithms for a wide variety of applications including medical informatics, Earth Science, social networks, Web mining, and computer security. My current research areas include pattern discovery in large databases, mining spatio-temporal and evolving data sets, incorporating background knowledge into data mining, and mining graphs and network data. My research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, Office of Naval Research, and Michigan State University.
Here's a data mining textbook that I've recently co-authored with Michael Steinbach and Vipin Kumar. You can obtain the slides and teaching resources from here.
