User Learning in Interactive Data Exploration

ICDE Lightning Talk, 2024

This paper studies how users learn while exploring data interactively and how data systems can better account for evolving user understanding during exploratory visual analysis.

Analyzing the Shifts in Users Data Focus in Exploratory Visual Analysis

IUI, 2025

This paper explores potential parallels between the evolution of users’ interactions with visualization tools during data exploration and assumptions made in popular online learning techniques. Through a series of empirical analyses, we seek to answer the question: What are the best learning methods for modeling shifts in users’ data focus during EVA?

Minimal Repairs for Learning Over Incomplete Data

NeurIPS Reliable ML from Unreliable Data Workshop, 2025

This work studies how to repair incomplete training data only where it matters for downstream learning. Instead of imputing every missing value, it focuses data preparation effort on the minimal repairs needed to learn accurate models.

Querying with Conflicts of Interest

arXiv cs.DB, 2026

This paper studies how users can query data sources that may intentionally return biased answers because their incentives do not align with the user’s information needs. It proposes algorithms to detect biased information and reformulate queries to recover more relevant results.

Learning with Conflicts of Interest

arXiv cs.LG/cs.AI, 2026

This paper models interactions between users and ML systems whose incentives may not be aligned. It proposes a game-theoretic framework and scalable algorithms that help users benefit from ML systems while reducing biased or manipulative actions.

CS- 334 Operating Systems

Undergraduate course, Oregon State University, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2021

CS- 334 Operating Systems

Undergraduate course, Oregon State University, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2022

In this course we will learn a lot of interesting stuff about modern operating systems, such as, communicating with them using system calls, creating and managing multiple processes at once, creating multiple threads, getting processes and threads to synchronize their actions, and how processes can communicate with each other, when they are on the same machine, as well as over the network. We will be extensively using Unix, C and its libraries, and Rust in this course. You are not expected to know C or Rust coming into the course, and the knowledge of these languages needed in this course will be taught in the course.

CS- 440 Database Management Systems

Undergraduate course, Oregon State University, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2022

Sharing and analyzing data in digital forms are essential parts of our professional, social, and personal lives. Recent scientific discoveries were not possible if not for the systems that manage and analyze large volumes of the data. In this course, you will learn the underlying concepts and methods that make these amazing advancements possible. We discuss the challenges of managing and querying large volumes of data and study the principles and algorithms used to address these challenges.

CS- 331 Artificial Intelligence

Undergraduate course, Oregon State University, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2022

Fundamental concepts in artificial intelligence using the unifying theme of an intelligent agent. Topics include agent architectures, search, games, logic and reasoning, and Bayesian networks.

CS- 46X Senior Software Engineering Capstone

Undergraduate course, Oregon State University, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2022

This is the first course of a series of three, culminating in the delivery of a working software project/product to student’s project partner by May/June of this academic year. This course is designed to prepare undergrad students as best as possible for their next career move.
