DANTE: Data and Information Management Research at Nanyang Technological University

Published: 11 December 2018 Publication History

Abstract

The data management group at the Nanyang Technological University (dante) was founded in 2009 by the first author when the School of Computer Science and Engineering hired two young faculty members in this area. The group currently consists of three faculty members and more than twenty graduate students, research assistants, and postdocs. Our alumni include faculty members at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, National University of Singapore, University of New South Wales, and several researchers and engineers at Facebook, Google, eBay, Huawei, and other technology companies. The group's major funding is from the Ministry of Education in Singapore, National Research Foundation, and companies such as Huawei.
