Kevin C.C. Chang

Chang is also an Associate Professor in Computer Science at UIUC, where he joined the faculty in 2000 with a dream of making things happen through research and through students. There, he has been working with students in large-scale information access -- i.e., information on the Internet-- where the MetaQuerier project deals with large-scale information integration over the "deep Web," and the WISDM project develops data-aware search over the "surface Web."

He received a B.S. from National Taiwan University and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. He was the recipient of an NSF CAREER Award in 2002, an NCSA Faculty Fellow Award in 2003, IBM Faculty Awards in 2004 and 2005, and was named an Excellent Teacher at UIUC in 2001 and 2004. He has served on the program committees of major data management and Web search conferences, including SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE, WWW, AAAI, CIKM, and ICDM.
