- Biography : Professor Gautam Das joined the CSE faculty of UT-Arlington in Fall 2004. Prior to joining UTA, Dr. Das was a Researcher in the Data Management, Exploration and Mining (DMX) Group at Microsoft Research for five years. He has also held positions at Compaq Corporation and the University of Memphis. Dr Das graduated with a B.Tech in computer science from IIT Kanpur, India, and with a Ph.D in computer science from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Dr. Das's research interests span data mining, information retrieval, databases, approximate query processing, heterogeneous data sources, applied graph and network algorithms, and computational geometry. While at Microsoft Research he was extensively involved in the design and implementation of association mining algorithms, sampling based approximate query processing, and research in database/IR integration. Prior to Microsoft, he has worked in clustering of categorical data and time series similarity, and also in the classical algorithms areas of shortest paths, spanning networks and geometric visibility. He has published over 100 papers, many of which have appeared in premier data mining, database and algorithms conferences (e.g., SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE, KDD, STOC, SODA, SoCG) as well as in several leading journals and invited book chapters. Dr. Das has served as the Program Chair of CIT 2004 and SIGMOD-DMKD 2004, as well as in program committees of premier conferences such as SIGMOD, ICDE, KDD, and ICML.
