Mugilan Mariappan

I am a PhD student at Simon Fraser University, advised by Prof. Keval Vora. My research is on developing tools and techniques for large-scale graph processing.

I built GraphBolt and DZiG to perform incremental computation on streaming graphs, and to enable real-time analytics on large-scale streaming graphs with provable correctness guarantees.

Recently, I interned at LinkedIn Graph Systems Lab, working with Dr. Juan Colmenares from LinkedIn and Dr. Yuanyuan Tian from Microsoft Gray Systems Lab.


Research Interests

Streaming graph processing, incremental computing, graph databases, graph mining, and graph learning.
