eugenewu at mit dot edu I'm an N'th year database graduate student in CSail at mit. My advisor is Sam Madden. Here is a very kind biography of me by @mstem for an assignment in an awesome news class. I dream of living a wild and crazy life. I previously studied at UC Berkeley and finished Fall 2006 |

Current Projects
Grammar of Graphics in JS
Implementation of a declarative javascript-based visualization system that supports standard interactions (hover, brush, select, zoom, provenance) out-of-the-box. Inspired by Wilkinson's Grammar of Graphics and Wickham's ggplot2 for R.
The current release added
- color aesthetics
- nested table support in the data model
- layout algorithms that understand label sizes (notice how y axis labels don't overlap with the y axis label)
- coordinate transforms (the bars are flipped)
- line and area geometries
- area stacking positioning transformations
Explanatory Provenance
Coming up with approaches to efficiently store, represent and prioritize provenance data
DBTruck
A tool to import your data into whatever data store you want, as painlessly as possible. See article for motivation
Other Projects
MEET
MEET strives to bridge the gap between future Israeli and Palestinian leaders by immersing them together for 3 full years of fun and education. MIT business and technical instructors work in the Middle East for a month-long intensive session during the summer. I was one of four Year 3 technical instructors in 2010, and helped head the curriculum team for the past 3 years
Qurk
A look at optimizing human computation through a database lens. Qurk is a database prototype that enables users to write queries that compute results from both machines and humans. With adam marcus.
VLDB Conference Trends
A quick analysis of top keywords in VLDB conference paper titles in the past 11 years
Introduction to Data Literacy
I co-taught a heavily lab-based IAP class called Introduction to Data Literacy that introduces students to many basic data cleaning, analysis, and visualization techniques. The course was added to OCW. With my buddy adam marcus.
WebTables
A look into the properties of structured data at the internet scale. With michael cafarella, yang zhang, nodira k., daisy wang and alon halevy.
Waapsi
An experimental course scheduling system. Tries to make the user experience not suck by using JS. This was around the time google calendar came out. With sukhchander khanna
SASE
System for declaratively filtering and correlating streams of events from sensor and rfid devices. Extends YFilter's core query processing engine. With yanlei diao and daniel gyllstrom
HiFi @ Berkeley
A Cascading Stream Architecture for Large-Scale Receptor-Based Networks. With the berkeley db group and notably shawn jeffrey and shariq rizvi
