Arnab Nandi Receives Yahoo! Research Fellowship
The amount of data we all have to deal with is constantly growing in size and complexity. People deal with this problem by organizing and storing their data in databases, but the challenge of easily searching through these evolving, complex structured mountains of data still remains a challenge.

Arnab's research is about making searching in structured data easier. This is part of one of our database group's research themes, to "make databases usable". His immediate research goals are to solve the problem of allowing non-experts (who don't know database languages like SQL) to use simple keywords to query complex databases, without knowledge of the complex structure of the database, and to get meaningful results from these queries.

About Yahoo! PhD Fellowship Program: Supporting the academic community is a top priority at Yahoo! The Yahoo! PhD Student Fellowship Program was created to recognize outstanding graduate student researchers who we believe have exceptional potential to make significant contributions and become thought leaders in their research fields. The highlights of each recipient's award benefits include full tuition and fees for two academic years, a $1,000 gift to the recipient's academic department, an optional summer internship, and mentorship from our distinguished scientists.
