Abstract

Welcome to this installment of ACM SIGMOD Record's series of interviews with distinguished members of the database community. I'm Marianne Winslett, and today I have here with me Christos Faloutsos, who is a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University. Christos recieved the Presidential Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation in 1989. He received the 1997 VLDB Ten Year Paper Award for his paper on R+ trees, and the SIGMOD 1994 Best Paper Award for a paper on fast subsequence matching in time series databases. Christos is a member of the SIGKDD Executive Committee, and he has wide-ranging interests in data mining, database performance, and spatial and multimedia databases. His PhD is from the University of Toronto. So, Christos, welcome!
