Rafal Angryk received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science in 2004 from Tulane University. Dr. Angryk also holds two other master’s degrees, which he obtained from universities in Poland. In 1999, Dr. Angryk received a M.A. in Business Management from the University of Szczecin and three years later an M.Eng. degree in Computer Science from the Technical University of Szczecin.
Dr. Angryk is currently employed as a Professor in the Computer Science Department at Georgia State University (GSU) and came to GSU as part of the university’s Second Century Initiative (2CI) to build nationally recognized scholarly strength and critical mass around common research themes. Before joining GSU in August 2013, he spent almost a decade as faculty at Montana State University. Dr. Angryk is the founding director of the MSU/GSU Data Mining Laboratory (dmlab.cs.gsu.edu), and holds the title of Affiliate Professor of Physics & Astronomy at GSU due to the interdisciplinary research he is conducting on massive repositories of solar data. Prior to arriving at MSU, he was involved in the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) project on Intelligent Database Agents for Geospatial Knowledge Integration and Management, administered by the Center for Computational Sciences in the Stennis Space Center (NASA). Dr. Angryk’s research and teaching interests lie in the areas of Very Large Databases (Spatial and Spatio-temporal Databases, and kNN Indexing of High Dimensional Data), Data Mining (Frequent Patterns Discovery, Clustering and Classification of real-life large-scale data), and Information Retrieval (Text and Image data). He has published over 100 journal articles, book chapters, and peer-reviewed conference papers in these areas. His research has been sponsored by several federal agencies: NASA (major contributor), NSF, NGA, as well as industry partners: Intergraph Corporation and RightNow Technologies (now Oracle), with the successful grant history exceeding $10M.
