I am an incoming master student in LTI at Carnegie Mellon University where I work with Prof.Kemal Oflazer.I also work closely to Prof.Mona Diab. Previously,I have been advised by Prof. Houda Bouamor in Carengie Mellon University in Qatar. I also had the amazing opportunities to work with Dr. Firoj Alam at QCRI and Prof. Roy Ka-Wei Lee at SUTD. Currently, I am working with Dr.Xiaoyuan Yi at Microsoft Ressearch Asia as an Incoming Research Intern .

For now my research interests mainly revolve around Intersections between Computational Social Science, Human Computer Interaction and Natural Language Processing, specifically:

  1. Emerging Online Languages and Offensive Language Detection
  2. LLM-based Personality and Roleplay Agents: How can I make a convincing Harry Potter?
  3. LLM Personalization: How can we make LLMs more tailored to individual users?
  4. Computational Ethics (Which was my undergraduate minor!): How can we present ethics into a computational framework? How can we enhance ethical reasoning of LLMs?

In the end, we are looking for applying these research for authentic AI companion as a potential solution to the global lonliness and disconnection

Currently hosting a non-profit organization Cranberry Lemon Research. Currently looking for more collaborators and members.

In the process of recruiting interested people to join preperation for PersonaNLP workshop at ICML 2025.
