Bio

I am an Assistant Professor at the Computer Information Systems department at Bentley University. My research focuses on leveraging state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques such as transformers and Large Language Models (LLMs) to improve performance of various classification AI tasks and to develop exploratory Natural Language Processing (NLP) approaches. I currently teach AI for business students. I received my PhD in Computer Science and Engineering with research focus on AI from The Ohio State University in 2022.
