Neha Makhija


Hi! I am a Computer Science PhD student at the DATALab at Khoury College of Computer Science at Northeastern University, where I am advised by Prof. Wolfgang Gatterbauer.
My research interests are in database theory and knowledge representation. My core research goal is to find when we can leverage structure in data to solve hard problems efficiently. More specifically, I work on problems related to query explanations, probabilistic data, and finding minimal representations of data - with the goal of discovering when we can solve these problems efficiently.
