Mert Akdere


About
I am a PhD candidate in the computer science department at Brown University. My advisor is Ugur Cetintemel. I have a B.S. in computer science from Bilkent University, Turkey and M.S. from Brown CS.
Research
My research interests include query optimization on distributed systems, data dissemination, and event processing on streaming data. My recent research is about the integration of prediction and analysis queries into database systems using probabilistic models and statistical methods. I also work on a visual sensor networks project in collaboration with the LEMS group at the Brown Engineering Department.
