I’m a Ph.D. candidate in the iDRAMA Lab under the guidance of Dr. Jeremy Blackburn at the State University of New York, Binghamton. I have a master’s degree focused on AI-related research projects from Auburn University, Alabama. My industrial experience includes working as an iOS Software Engineer for 3+ years. Besides having three college degrees in Computer Science, I love teaching and mentoring people.

Research Interests

Misinformation, Computational Social Science, Network Science, Machine Learning

• I work on understanding memes and videos that disseminate misinformation through multimodal fusion techniques.
• My research interest lies in studying large-scale data from social media platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and 4chan by applying Statistical methods and Computer vision.
• Another direction in my research is detecting hidden coordinated groups from social media platforms using Graph-algorithms in an unsupervised fashion.
