Professional Experience
PhD Researcher
September 2024 - Present
Boston University
Conducting research in database systems and data management under the supervision of Prof. Manos Athanassoulis. My research focuses on designing practical, data-aware structures that exploit sortedness and data distribution to reduce latency and memory footprint.
Research Projects:
- Investigating multi-dimensional spatial indexing techniques
- Developing Constellation Maps - a geometric approach to permutation mapping
- Exploring wavelet trees as space-efficient physical-to-sorted mapping for learned indexes (AIDB, 2025)
- Working on learned LSM tuning through task decomposition (AXE) (PVLDB, 2026)
Masters Student
