Specializing in NLP-driven mental healthcare solutions

About

“If you could train an AI to be a Buddhist, it would probably be pretty good.”
- Reid Hoffman

I am currently pursuing a Master of Engineering in Computer Science at Cornell University. Prior to this, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with honors from Rutgers University-New Brunswick with a B.S. in Computer Science and Cognitive Science and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. I also worked as an ML Full-Stack Developer Intern at a fintech scaleup and as a research assistant at a joint Rutgers-Princeton laboratory, where I focused on data integration and machine learning.

My passions lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence and psychology, and I am keen to explore computational linguistics, cognitive neuropsychiatry, and new LLM frameworks for natural language understanding, including transformer models and fine-tuning for sentiment and emotional analysis. In the future, I aim to establish a startup and develop NLP-driven solutions in the mental healthcare space.
