I am a PhD Candidate in Computer Science (Natural Language Processing) at Portland State University, under the guidance of Dr. Ameeta Agrawal (PortNLP Lab). Currently, I am working on improving LLM’s multilingual ability. I have also worked on projected related to low-resource languages, machine translation (MT), MT post-editing (MTPE), idiomaticity, multi-word expressions, and social media information extraction.
I am on the lookout for Internship or Full-Time positions.
