Distinguished Professor Ooi Beng Chin was presented with the 2014 IEEE Technical Committee on Data Engineering and Computer Science, Engineering, and Education (TCDE CSEE) Impact Award. The award was presented to Professor Ooi at the 30th IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering, in Chicago, Illinois, USA, early last month. The annual ICDE conference addresses research issues in designing, building, managing, and evaluating advanced data-intensive systems and applications. It is a leading forum for researchers, practitioners, developers, and users to explore cutting-edge ideas and to exchange techniques, tools, and experiences.

The multi-focus IEEE TCDE CSEE Impact Award acknowledges database contributions in research, practical innovation or exposition with impact beyond the data engineering research community to Computer Science, Engineering, or Education. Professor Ooi’s research interests include database system architectures, performance issues, indexing techniques and query processing, in the context of multimedia, spatio-temporal, distributed, parallel, P2P, and Cloud database systems and applications.
