Alper Üngör’s research is on the junction of the two main branches of computer science, theoretical computer science and scientific computing. Specifically, his research interests are in computational geometry, with special emphasis in mesh generation. His main goal is to understand the mathematical (mostly geometrical) structure of engineering problems and develop provably good algorithms to solve them.…

My research interest is to build systems and design algorithms to support large-scale and advanced data analysis (e.g., using statistics and machine learning), which goes beyond simple aggregations and OLAP in traditional databases and data warehouses.

I am the director of the UF Data Science Research lab. The current focus of the lab is on building and reasoning wth probabilistic knowledge graphs from text, images and crowd.
