Caroline M. Eastman
Professor
Director of Undergraduate Studies
Professor Eastman's research
interests focus on effective and efficient algorithms for
information retrieval. When you want information, how easily
and quickly can you find it? Is it useful and correct when
you do find it? Her work in this area has addressed a broad
spectrum of problems, from efficient file organizations to
search interfaces and user interactions. She has also been
working with colleagues on problems in database security.
She is PI and co-director (with Professor Bowles) for
an NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates site.
