About Me

---

I am a 4th year Ph.D. student in Computer Science, at Louisiana State University. I received a Masters Degree in Computer Science in 2018. I conduct research under the supervision of Dr. Anas Mahmoud at SEEL. In my research, I focus on user concerns in Gig Economy apps (Uber, Lyft, etc.). My current project involves applying NLP state-of-the-art models, machine learning, and statistical techniques to extract and classify discrimination concerns from social media and apps’ policies.

My previous work included mining software repositories, with emphasis on linguistic change in Open Source Software (OSS) and using OSS in SE education.

My research at LSU is funded by the NSF grants: CCF 1821525 and CNS 1951411
