My research insterests are in computational linguistics, machine learning, natural language processing and computational social science. Before joining Villanova, I was a post-doc research associate at the Institute for Data Exploration and Applications (IDEA) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) hosted by professor Tomek Strzalkowski. I received my PhD degree from RPI, advised by professor Sibel Adalı.
