Many of our students know Prof Anthony Tung as a database researcher. Some also know him as a singer.
In a new interview with ACM SIGMOD Record, Prof Tung shares that he can spend three or four hours singing when he has the time, and that he sometimes sings with his students. He says music helps him think about pace and timing in his work, and that research ideas often come when his mind is relaxed.
The interview also covers DiversiNews, a system his team is developing to show readers different viewpoints on the same story.
