Research

His research interests include Big data (Hadoop/Spark) analytics, machine learning, distributed databases (NoSQL), geo-locating with social media texts, information retrieval, and digital libraries. To establish a robust 'Big Data Research Infrastructure and Data Hub' that supports UIS faculty and researchers in the collection, processing, and analysis of large research data, he has constructed multiple computer clusters, including a 12-node Kubernetes (K8s) cluster with 8 GPUs and an 11-node Hadoop cluster, along with dedicated collection servers, all initiated since 2019. Recently, he and his colleagues received a $100,000 award from the UIS Strategic Investment Fund (SIF) to establish the AI and Data Analytics Center (AIDAC), which includes building a K8s cluster with GPUs for AI and data analytics. He has also systematically collected and crawled data from tweets (11 billion tweets), webpages (4.8 million pages), and various datasets related to disasters, emergencies, shootings, social activities, political events, and technologies.
