Research Interests

My research investigates the frontier of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to solve complex, real-world challenges in strategic decision-making and data-driven scenarios. Operating at the intersection of Natural Language Processing, Social Network Analysis, and Pattern Recognition; my lab develops robust Machine Learning and efficient Deep Learning architectures engineered to parse large-scale, heterogeneous data.

Currently, our work and research interests include Event-based Analytics, Machine Translation, Trend and Pattern Discovery, Multilayer Network Modeling, Opinion Mining, Explainable and Responsible AI.

My overarching goal is to bridge foundational computing theory with tangible societal impact. I actively welcome collaborative funding partnerships and motivated graduate students eager to push the boundaries of Data Science and build the next generation of intelligent AI systems.
