General

Dr. Tao is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). Before joining CUHK in 2006, he was a Visiting Scientist at the Carnegie Mellon University during 2002-2003, and an Assistant Professor at the City University of Hong Kong during 2003-2006. He received a Hong Kong Young Scientist Award in 2002 from the Hong Kong Institution of Science. He regularly serves the programming committees of SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE. Currently, he an associate editor of ACM Transactions on Database Systems (TODS), and of IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering (TKDE). He was the PC chair of the demonstration track in SIGMOD 2010, a PC co-chair of International Symposium on Spatial and Temporal Databases (SSTD) 2011, an area PC chair of ICDE 2011, and a senior PC member of International Conference of Information and Knowledge (CIKM) 2010, 2011, 2012. On leave from CUHK, he is currently a Visiting Professor, under the World Class University (WCU) program of the Korean government, in the Division of Web Science and Technology, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Republic of Korea. Current research interests Algorithms with non-trivial theoretical guarantees, particularly those dealing with massive datasets that do not fit in memory.
