Visiting PhD Student

I am a first-year second-year third year PhD student Computation, Cognition and Language at the Language Technology Lab at University of Cambridge, supervised by Prof. Nigel Collier. I have broad interests in natural language processing and computational social science. Most recently, my research encompasses two aspects: 1) understanding the inherent biases of LLMs through text generation 2) employing LLMs to understand biased language use in human communication. Previously, I completed my master’s in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at ETH Zürich. My master’s thesis is about quotative usage in U.S political news. It was done at The Data Science Lab at EPFL, supervised by Manoel Horta Ribeiro, Prof. Andreas Spitz and Prof. Robert West.

I obtained a Bachlor’s of Science in Electrical Engineering from The University of Texas at Dallas, advised by Prof. Carlos Busso. I worked on driver head pose estimation with 3D data.
