Rachel Pottinger
I'm an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at the
University of British Columbia (in Vancouver) where I am affilated
with the Data
Management and Mining
group. I finished my PhD
in the database group in
the Computer Science and Engineering Department at
the University of
Washington.
Research
My research centers on (1) how data can be managed in situations where
there are multiple databases and (2) how to manage data that is
currently not well supported by databases. To that end, my students
and I are currently exploring a number of topics, including managing
data used in disaster response coordination, managing data in
peer-to-peer networks, helping people who are building buildings to
better manage their data, schema evolution, and managing metadata
(i.e., data about data). Information about some of these topics can
be found by looking at my publications.

On the personal side of life, I'm married to Steve Wolfman, the mother of
Naomi and enjoy the attentions of
our cat NMI. You can also find a bit about my personal history, or see my CV.
