Management and Budget. In that position, he coordinated
Administration policy on the use of personal information in the

the proposed and final HIPAA medical privacy rules, and played a
leading role on topics including financial privacy, Internet

2003, when QUIQ was acquired by Kanisa.
His research is in the area of database systems, with a focus on
data retrieval, analysis, and mining. He and his group have
developed scalable algorithms for clustering, decision-tree
construction, and itemset counting, and were among the first to
investigate mining of continuously evolving and streaming data. His
work on query optimization has found its way into several commercial
database systems, and his work on extending SQL to deal with queries
over sequences has influenced the design of window functions in
SQL:1999. None of this would have been possible without a great
group of former students; of all his contributions, he is proudest
of this list.
Dr. Ramakrishnan is a Fellow of the Association for Computing
Machinery (ACM), and has received several awards, including a David
and Lucile Packard Foundation Fellowship in Science and Engineering,

Knowledge Discovery, and has maintained the dbworld mailing list
since creating it in 1987.
Professor Christopher Clifton, Ph.D.
Dr. Clifton works on challenges posed by novel uses
of data mining technology, including data mining of text, data
mining techniques applied to interoperation of heterogeneous
information sources, and security and privacy issues raised by data
mining. Fundamental data mining challenges posed by these
applications, include extracting knowledge from noisy data,
identifying knowledge in highly skewed data (few examples of
``interesting'' behavior), and limits on learning. He also works on
database support for widely distributed and autonomously controlled
information, particularly information administration issues such as
supporting fine-grained access control.
Prior to joining Purdue, Dr. Clifton was a Principal Scientist in
the Information Technology Division at the MITRE Corporation. He has
a Ph.D. from Princeton University, and Bachelor's and Master's
degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Before
