About Me

My contributions go to the development of AI systems in the field of Fake news/Disinformation …

** Research Interests: **

  • ** Machine Learning/Deep Learning:** Classical Algorithms (e.g., SVM, RF) to Deep Neural Network to solve supervised and semi-supervised problems.

  • Applicative Contexts: Natural Language Processing, Behavioral and Social Signal Processing (Emotion, Personality traits) from Speech and Text; Social Media Text Analysis.

Short Bio: Currently working for QCRI, Qatar, as a Scientist. I received my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Trento, under the supervision of Prof. Giuseppe Riccardi, master’s from the same department, and undergrad from BRAC University.


Affliated member: IEEE, AAAI, ACM, ISCA, AAAC
