## Short Bio

Magdalena Balazinska is Professor, Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Chair, and Director of the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science &amp; Engineering at the University of Washington. Magdalena's research interests are in the field of database management systems. Her current research focuses on data management for data science, big data systems, cloud computing, and image and video analytics. Prior to her leadership of the Allen School, Magdalena was the Director of the eScience Institute, the Associate Vice Provost for Data Science, and the Director of the Advanced Data Science PhD Option. She also served as Co-Editor-in-Chief for Volume 13 of the Proceedings of the Very Large Data Bases Endowment (PVLDB) journal and as PC co-chair for the corresponding, prestigious VLDB'20 conference. Magdalena is an ACM Fellow. She holds a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2006). Shortly after her arrival at the University of Washington, she was named a Microsoft Research New Faculty Fellow (2007). Magdalena received the inaugural VLDB Women in Database Research Award (2016) for her work on scalable distributed data systems. She also received an ACM SIGMOD Test-of-Time Award (2017) for her work on fault-tolerant distributed stream processing and a 10-year most influential paper award (2010) from her earlier work on reengineering software clones. Magdalena received an NSF CAREER Award (2009), the UW CSE ACM Teaching Award (2013), the Jean Loup Baer Career Development Professorship in Computer Science and Engineering (2014-2017), two Google Research Awards (2011 and 2018), an HP Labs Research Innovation Award (2009 and 2010), a Rogel Faculty Support Award (2006), a Microsoft Research Graduate Fellowship (2003-2005), and multiple best-paper (and "best of") awards.

## Research

My interests are broadly in the fields of databases and distributed systems.
My current work focuses on data management for data science, cloud computing,
image and video analytics, database systems for VR/AR, and machine learning + databases.

### Current Projects:

* __[VisualWorldDB](https://db.cs.washington.edu/projects/visualworld/): Data management for video data.__
We are building new data management systems and techniques for video data. Our work includes&nbsp; a new benchmark, called
[Visual Road](http://db.cs.washington.edu/projects/visualroad/), for this type of workloads.

* __[Image analytics](http://db.cs.washington.edu/projects/imageAnalytics/): Database support for machine learning workloads__.
We are developing new data management techniques to support novel workloads, including machine learning. Our focus so far has been on accelerating and better
supporting deep learning over scientific image databases.&nbsp;

* __[DeepQuery](http://db.cs.washington.edu/projects/deepQuery/):__ __Machine learning for database systems.__
We study how machine learning, including deep learning, can serve to improve data management systems. This project also included the
[Cuttlefish](http://db.cs.washington.edu/projects/cuttlefish/) work that applied reinforcement learning to adaptive query processing.

* __[Themis](http://db.cs.washington.edu/projects/themis/): Open world data management and analytics system__:
We are developing a new type of data management and analytics system designed to work with samples of real-world data, yet answer analytical queries about that world.
This work also includes work on [query optimization](http://db.cs.washington.edu/projects/pqo/)
and the [EntropyDB](http://db.cs.washington.edu/projects/entropydb/) system.

### Past Projects:

* [Myria](http://myria.cs.washington.edu): Big data management as a cloud service. In this project, we are building a new big data management system as
a cloud service and are studying the various associated technical challenges..

* [Data Eco$y$tem](http://data-pricing.cs.washington.edu): Data Management and Pricing in the Cloud.

* [CQMS](http://cqms.cs.washington.edu/): Collaborative query management.

* [Nuage](http://nuage.cs.washington.edu/): Data management in the cloud (first project).

* [SciDB](http://scidb.org/): Array data management. The UW-local part of SciDB is described [here](http://scidb.cs.washington.edu).

* [RFID Ecosystem](http://rfid.cs.washington.edu/): Experimenting with a pervasive RFID-based infrastructure.

* [Lahar](http://mstreams.cs.washington.edu/): Markovian Stream Processing.

* [Moirae](http://db.cs.washington.edu/projects/moirae/): Exploiting history in monitoring applications.

* [PEEX](http://data.cs.washington.edu/projects/peex/): Probabilistic Event EXtractor for RFID data.

* [FlowDB](http://data.cs.washington.edu/nids/ovmi.html): Using relational databases in network forensic analysis.

* [StreamClean](http://data.cs.washington.edu/projects/streamclean/): Cleaning sensor data.

* [HomeViews](http://data.cs.washington.edu/projects/sharedviews/sharedviews.html): Helping home users organize and share their data.

* Distributed stream processing with [Borealis](http://nms.lcs.mit.edu/projects/borealis/) and [Medusa](http://nms.lcs.mit.edu/projects/medusa/).

* Study of user mobility patterns and network utilization in a [corporate WLAN](https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~magda/wireless/).

* [Twine](http://nms.lcs.mit.edu/projects/twine/): scalable resource discovery system for pervasive computing environments.

* [Infranet](http://nms.lcs.mit.edu/projects/infranet/) : Internet censorship circumvention system.
