  I am interested in the performance analysis of DBMS operations on advanced tape and disk technology, including disk and tape arrays. I'm currently studying how to buffer large datasets from tertiary storage to disk and memory when such data are used for data exploration and visualization (the <a href="http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~devise">DEVise</a> project). My advisor is Prof. <a href="http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~pubs/faculty-info/miron.html">Miron Livny</a>.  <p>
