Biography
I'm a postdoctoral fellow in the Research School of Computer Science at the Australian National University (ANU). I'm currently working on temporal privacy-preserving record linkage techniques (PPRL) for multiple parties. PPRL is the problem of identifying matching records from different databases that correspond to the same real-world entities without compromising privacy of the entities represented by those records. In my PHD research study I developed scalable techniques for efficient and effective indexing mechanisms in PPRL for multiple parties.
