Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Texas Woman's University
Mission
I recently graduated with a Ph.D. in Computer and Information Science focusing on Data and Information Science at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. I worked with the guidance and mentorship of John Talburt and Elizabeth Pierce. Other mentors I worked with in the past years: Serdar Bozdag, Mariofanna Milanova, Ningnig Wu, Ying Ding, Yan Zhang, Jacek Gwizdka, Abhra Sarkar, Mohammed Yassine Belkhouche, Carolina Cruz Neira, Dirk Reiners, Roger Fang, Jerry Wood, Larry Morell. In my free time my hobbies include: poetry and writing, karate-kata, aikido and non-competitive martial arts, hiking, swimming, astronomy and star parties, jazz music, activism and community work, and investment. |

Research Interests
My research interests and experiences are centered around data quality, curation, integration, and engineering and their interdisciplinary applications in the sciences. I develop and adapt methods and frameworks theoretically rooted in graphical models, natural language processing, machine learning, and deep learning. I apply the developed methods in information retrieval (computer science), data mining of digital libraries and information networks (information science), biomedical informatics (biology), non-profit studies (social sciences), and human-computer interaction (psychology). My vision is to aid and automate the process of scientific discovery and inquiry by developing ethical and artificially intelligent systems capable of integrating, cleaning, organizing, and mining scientific information automatically and efficiently.
