Dr. Tao is engaged in research of database systems. He is particularly interested in index structures and query algorithms on multidimensional data, and has published primarily on temporal databases, spatial databases, and privacy preservation. He received the Hong Kong young scientist award in 2002. He has served the program committees of most prestigious database conferences such as SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE, and is currently an associate editor of ACM Transactions on Database Systems (TODS). He joined the Chinese University of Hong Kong in September 2006. Before that, he held positions at the Carnegie Mellon University and the City University of Hong Kong. He is a member of the ACM.

Delighted to be listed as a responsive reviewer by ACM TODS. Check here.

My pledges as a reviewer:

I will treat your work with respect.   I will SPEND ENOUGH TIME with your paper. I will not make any decision until I have got a good understanding of your solutions.   In the unfortunate case I decide to recommend rejection, I will do so on SOLID GROUNDS. I will never reject papers based on subjective and vacuous statements such as "I don't like this idea".   I will write reviews in a courteous and fair manner. I have seen very harsh reviews by other people which heavily mention my publications, and thus, give people the feeling that I was the reviewer. I will NEVER do anything like this.

Program chair of DBRank 2009.
