Education

Tomasz Imieliński graduated with B.E/M.E degree in Electrical Engineering from Politechnika Gdańska in Gdańsk, Poland, and received his PhD, in 1982, in Computer Science, from Polish Academy of Sciences, in Poland, under supervision of Witold Lipski.

Career

After receiving his PhD, Tomasz Imieliński joined, for a year, faculty at the McGill University School of Computer Science at McGill University in Montreal. Since 1983, he joined the Computer Science Department at Rutgers University, in New Brunswick. He served as a Chairman of the Department, from 1996-2003. In 2000, he co-founded Connotate Technologies based on his data extraction research developed at Rutgers University. While on leave from Rutgers University, from 2004-2010, he had held multiple positions at Ask.com: Vice president of Data Solutions, Executive Vice president of Global Search and Answers, and Chief Scientist. Between 2010-2012, Tomasz Imieliński served as Vice President of data solutions at Pronto.

Research and Recognition

Imieliński-Lipski Algebras

Imieliński's early work on 'Incomplete Information in Relational Databases' produced a fundamental concept that became later known as Imieliński-Lipski Algebras.

Cylindric Algebras

According to Van den Bussche, the first people from database community to recognize the connection between Codd's relational algebra and Tarski's cylindric algebras were Witold Lipski and Tomasz Imieliński, in a talk given at the very first edition of PODS (the ACM Symposium on Principles of Database Systems), in 1982. Their work,"The relational model of data and cylindric algebras" was later published in 1984.

Association Rule Mining

His joint 1993 paper with Agrawal and Swami, 'Mining Association Rules Between Sets of Items in Large Databases' started the association rule mining research area, and it is one of the most cited publications in computer science, with over 18,000 citations according to Google Scholar. This paper received the 2003 - 10 year Test of Time ACM SIGMOD award, and is included in the list of important publications in computer science.

Mobile Computing

Imieliński has also been one of the pioneers of mobile computing and for his joint 1992 paper with Badri Nath on 'Querying in highly mobile distributed environments' he received the VLDB Ten Year Award in 2002.

Geocast

He contributed the area of Geocast that deals with the delivery of information to a group of destination in a network identified by their geographical locations. It is a specialized form of multicast addressing used by some routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks. He explored geographic messaging, geographic advertising, delivery of geographically restricted services, and presence discovery of a service or mobile network participant in a limited geographic area.

Patents

Overall, Imieliński has published over 150 papers and is an inventor and co-inventor on multiple patents ranging from search technology to web data extraction as well as multimedia processing, data mining, and mobile computing (e.g. patent on "Method and system for audio access to information in a wide area computer network").

His papers have been cited over 34000 times Tomasz Imieliński has been listed as #3, in the area of databases, on the AMiner Most Influential Scholars List, which tracks the top researchers in computer science and engineering.
