Research Activities
Brad Nickerson has an interest in algorithms and data structures for efficient
search of multi-dimensional data. His current research activities in this
area include data structures for large volumes of spatial data, data
structures for combined text and spatial
data, efficient algorithms for answering moving object queries
and indexing of multimedia data.
He also has research interests in the general area of knowledge based
systems. Areas being investigated include how to represent knowledge about
spatial objects and spatial data in computer programs, natural language
morphology representation to speed up text search, and
a language for sensor webs (further information on this last item
is here).
