When I joined ASU in Fall 2014, I inaugurated the Data Systems Lab (DataSys@ASU). The main mission of DataSys@ASU is to impact society by boosting education and conducting novel scientific research in the data management area. Members of DataSys@ASU design and develop data management systems that enable emerging applications such as predictive analytics, location-based services, social networking), new data types (examples; geospatial data, graph data) and new workload. The lab also develops data management systems that support new computing paradigms (examples; Cloud computing and Cluster computing) and new hardware system architectures such as flash memory storage devices.
