| Surajit Chaudhuri is a Senior Researcher and
Manager of the Data Management, Exploration and Mining Group at Microsoft
Research http://research.microsoft.com/dmx. In 1996, Surajit started the AutoAdmin project on self-tuning database systems at Microsoft Research that led to automated index tuning technology in Microsoft SQL Server. In 1998, Surajit's work on integration of data mining and database technologies was incorporated in SQL Server 2000. Data Exploration, Surajit's newest project, is studying the problem of querying, searching and presentation of information that span text as well as relational data. Surajit did his Ph.D. from Stanford University and worked at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Palo Alto prior to joining Microsoft Research.
