Research Interests

Professor Chan's research interests are mainly in the area of database systems. In the past, he has worked on database design, and on object-oriented and deductive databases. Recently, he has become interested in designing and building spatial and moving object database systems. The group research in the past few years is focused on finding fast algorithms for evaluating routes queries on massive graphs, as well as query processing and indexing for large spatial and moving object databases.

Industrial and Sabbatical Experience

Professor Chan spent a year of sabbatical at NTT Basic Research Laboratories in Tokyo and at the University of Toronto.
