Personal Statement

Where identity is open onto plurality, not a fort or a trench..

Mahmoud Darwish

I believe that diversity is a source of creativity rather than discrimination, just like playing the strings of a lute, despite being tuned at different pitches, they let out harmonized music. Realizing that everyone is unique in their own way and initiating a two-way communication is important to make the society flourish. We should collectively work towards a better world where equity, justice and freedom are not merely theoretical concepts, but are also applied equally in our societies.

What I want to achieve? In my research, I develop innovative AI-driven automation strategies to address real challenges encountered by our societies. To make an impact, I chose to walk through the path that fosters conversation and collaboration with industry, reduces the gap between theory and practice, and benefits the social good.

How I envision the future? Humans will depend on generative AI just like they became dependent on technologies. I see language models as an effective instrument that will be essential companion for humans doing laborious tasks involving text. I aspire to contribute to the research strand aiming at improving the development and evaluation of trustworthy AI-driven software.


Research Interests

My research focuses on applying artificial intelligence (AI) technologies focusing on natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML) for solving software engineering problems with an emphasis on requirements engineering (RE), legal and regulatory compliance.
