From Fall 2020, Jia Yu will be a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Computer Science at Washington State University School of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science. He is looking for self-motivated CS/CE PhD students to join him in Fall 2020 or Spring 2021.
Jia's research focuses on crafting database systems to accelerate large-scale geospatial data analytics. In particular, he is interested in (1) building large-scale / distributed data systems for geospatial data and data streams. This will involve dramatic new changes to existing big data systems such as Apache Hadoop, Spark, Flink, Storm, and Kafka. (2) designing Machine Learning-enhanced spatial data structures such as indices or new physical data layouts to facilitate spatial query processing. (3) creating geospatial visualization techniques for geospatial data or data streams.
WSU Computer Science is ranked No.75 in US News Graduate CS program and provides high-quality education for graduate students. WSU EECS school has a strong research background on big data systems, data science, machine learning, and distribute/parallel/high-performance computing. WSU is located in Pullman, which is close to the vibrant Seattle area which has many leading companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, and Expedia. It is also close to Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) which frequently hosts WSU EECS interns.
Jia will provide (1) full financial support including complete tuition waiver, monthly stipend, and summer salary (2) world-class research environment comprising cutting-edge big data relevant techniques (Spark, Flink, Kafka...) and advanced hardware (large computer clusters and GPUs) (3) potential internship opportunities in top IT companies and research institutes including Microsoft Research, IBM Research, Amazon Web Services, Apple and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
Please read the full advertisement (https://jiayuasu.github.io/students/) and Jia's research agenda (https://jiayuasu.github.io/). If you are interested, please send your CV, transcripts, and GRE/TOEFL scores (if applicable) to jia.yu1@wsu.edu. In your email, please use no more than 100 words to briefly describe your background and research interest. Jia will reach out to you if you are a good fit.
Note that, the Fall 2020 admission of WSU is almost done, please contact Jia as soon as possible if you want to join him in Fall 2020.
目前有大量的公司比如摩拜单车,Uber, Databricks (Spark母公司) 在使用我科研项目GeoSpark https://datasystemslab.github.io/GeoSpark/ ,我与多家世界顶尖公司和研究机构有合作关系,比如Apple (苹果地图诞生地), Microsoft Research (微软研究院总部,大名鼎鼎的SQL Server诞生地), IBM Almaden Research Center (数据库关系模型,SQL语言和DB2数据库的诞生地)。大家可以看一下我的工作经历 https://jiayuasu.github.io/cv/。我的推荐人包括来自Amazon Web Services (著名的Amazon云服务) Redshift数据库的研究员,微软研究院的研究员 和 美国工程院院士 David Lomet (数据库 Atomicity 原子性的发明人之一),大家可以看一下我科研成果的highlight https://jiayuasu.github.io/highlight/
