Michaela (Mila) Götz
I graduated from Cornell University working in the database group advised by Johannes Gehrke. Now, I work at twitter. Consider applying here.
Prior to this, I spent a semester at Carnegie Mellon University working with Christos Faloutsos on modeling blog dynamics. I obtained a B.S. in Computer Science at Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany.

Research Interests
I am interested in data management. I work on distributed data management, data privacy, and data cleaning. My thesis is on user privacy in personalized mobile applications.
