We are data systems researchers
CreateLab is a research group at UIUC led by Prof. Yongjoo Park. As a research group, we investigate novel algorithms and systems, pioneering new generations of data systems. Specifically, we are committed to pursuing formal mathematical guarantees and building actual systems to demonstrate the superiority of our new systems in modern computing environments.
CreateLab is part of Data and Information Systems (DAIS), a research area in CS@Illinois. DAIS comprises exceptional, diverse faculty in the areas of data mining, databases, and the web, being one of the strongest data groups in the nation.

Current Projects
We are interested in many things! But, these are a few of them we are putting most of our effort into to build systems and publish exciting results. Each project is designed to pursue a single, ultimate goal; however, it entails many sub-components, each is scientifically investigated by our group members. Besides these projects, we encourage group members to bring completely new ideas for novel data systems.
