Let's chat

About me

I am a first-year Ph.D. student advised by Christan Grant, Ph.D. My research falls in the realm of natural language processing (NLP). More specifically, I am looking at veracity of predictions. For example, a textual prediction is: March 1st, 2025, I think UF men basketball 🏀 will win the NCAA Tournament. The veracity of this is 100% true.


Previously I spent time in the Knowledge Capture And Discover group where I was blessed to be advised by Yolanda Gil, Ph.D. while having Emmanuel Dorley, Ph.D. as a direct mentor.

Research interests

My research interest lie at the intersection of NLP and time series for real-time systems.

  • multimodal (text, audio, visual) predictions

  • data aquisition and information retrieval (IR)

  • mix-frequencies forecasting

  • interpolation of missing values

  • explainable and interpretable models

See below for some of my papers (a full list can be found at Google Scholar).
