Hello there!

I am a PhD candidate at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I’m currently working with Dr. Dilek Hakkani-Tur and Dr. Gokhan Tur.

Research interests: Currently, I’m interested in data efficiency in NLP - from uncertainty estimation to active learning and subset/coreset selection. I’m starting to broaden my interests in data centric NLP. I’ve worked in LLM-based agents, reinforcement learning, and graph machine learning. I’ve also been recently interested in multilinguality in LLMs.

I’ll be at NeurIPS 2025 presenting NN-CIFT poster #103 on Wednesday 3rd, Exhibit Hall C, D, E at 11am..
