Biography
Hello, I'm a master’s student in Computer Science at Georgia Tech with a focus on machine learning and data-driven systems. My research experience includes training Transformer models for multilingual subjectivity detection on HPC clusters, which resulted in a peer-reviewed paper accepted to CLEF 2025, and building a pipeline to convert drug-related mortality data into FHIR-compliant JSON for integration with HAPI FHIR servers. I also completed a summer research internship at GTRI’s Sensors and Electromagnetic Applications Lab, where I developed MATLAB tools to process radar simulation data and validate it using signal processing methods. I am interested in projects that combine AI, high-performance computing, and data science, and I’m eager to contribute to collaborative research through the SRP program.

Motivation
I want to participate in SRP because I’m motivated by applied, hands-on research that connects computational methods with real-world data. Over the past year and a half, my entry into research has been challenging, but I’ve loved being in an environment where I can keep learning while working on problems that haven’t been solved before. Projects like training Transformer models for multilingual research at CLEF, building a FHIR-compliant data pipeline in my VIP project, and processing radar simulation data during my GTRI internship have shown me how much I enjoy turning complex data into actionable insights. Through SRP, I hope to continue developing my skills, tackle new applied challenges, and collaborate with mentors and peers who inspire me to keep growing as a researcher.
