I am a graduate student with the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois Chicago. I am advised by Dr. Natalie Parde as part of the Natural Language Processing Lab.
My journey has been an explorative one, where I have delved into a few exciting fields across engineering. During my undergraduate degree, I have worked on neural networks and computer vision. At the graduate level, I have studied robotics, human-robot interaction and natural language processing. My master's thesis was on the detection and analysis of vulnerabilities among automated fake news detectors.
I am interested in the intersection of language and other modalities. I believe that simulating how humans understand language could lead to systems that can efficiently interact with us. I am also interested in improving the current state of misinformation detection.
