Research Experience and Interests
Dr. Ranga Raju Vatsavai has been conducting research in the area of spatiotemporal databases and data mining for the past 15 years. Before joining ORNL, he worked at IBM-Research (2004-06; IIT-Delhi campus), U of Minnesota (1999-2004; Twin-cities, MN), AT&T Labs (1998; Middletown, NJ), Center for Development of Advanced Computing (1995-98; C-DAC, Pune, India), and National Forest Data Management Center (1990-95; FRI Campus, Dehradun, India). He has published over thirty peer-reviewed articles and served on program committees of several international conferences. He was also involved in developing several highly successful software systems (UMN-MapServer – a world leading open source WebGIS, *Miner – a spatiotemporal data mining workbench, EASI/PACE Parallel Fly!, parallel SAR, and first parallel softcopy photogrammetry system for IRS-1C/1D satellites). His research interests are in statistical modeling, predictive learning, time series analysis and forecasting, semi-supervised learning, multiple classifier systems, spatiotemporal data mining, information retrieval, uncertainty and error handling, object-relational, probabilistic, and fuzzy databases
