I am a second-year doctoral candidate in Informatics at Penn State University’s College of Information Science and Technology. I work at the PIKE (Penn State Information, Knowledge, and wEb) Research Lab at Penn State University as a Data Science & AI researcher under the guidance of Dr. Dongwon Lee. I was awarded an NRT Linguistic Diversity Across the Lifespan (LINDIV) NSF (National Science Foundation) Graduate Fellowship. As part of my research, I investigate novel approaches to combating long-tail misinformation, such as distributed data across multiple domains and languages with limited resources. These non-trivial tasks sparked my academic interest in interdisciplinary research that combines cutting-edge NPL and AI techniques to enhance the robustness and generalizability of AI models that combat multilingual misinformation. My research interests lie at the nexus of linguistics, artificial intelligence, cyber security, public health, and information technology and informatics. My research supports misinformation detection systems, intelligent voice assistants, and computer-based intelligent tutoring systems. Dance, fitness, and martial arts are some of my life’s great pleasures, as well as volunteering in the community.
