About me
Unleashing the power of AI and NLP to tackle misinformation, I’m a PhD candidate at Penn State’s College of Information Science and Technology. As a Data Science & AI researcher at the PIKE Lab under the advisement of Dr. Dongwon Lee, I delve into cutting-edge solutions to combat long-tail fake news, with a focus on interdisciplinary research. Fueled by an NSF LinDiv Research Graduate Traineeship, I bring my passion for linguistics, AI, cyber security, public health, and natural langauge processing to enhance systems such as AI-powered fake news detectors and human language technology. Outside of academia, I dance to my own rhythm, train in martial arts, and give back through community volunteer work.
