About

I am an AI researcher specializing in Natural Language Processing and its applications in healthcare. My research focuses on developing empathetic and informative AI chatbot systems to support childhood cancer survivors — bridging the gap between advanced AI technology and real-world psychosocial needs.

With a foundation in Statistics and a Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence, I bring a data-driven approach to building conversational AI systems that can provide meaningful emotional and informational support.
