I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Computer Science at California State University, Dominguez Hills. My work brings together Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Large Language Models (LLMs), Neural Machine Translation (NMT), and Low-Resource Language Technologies to address practical challenges in multilingual and domain-specific communication.
My research explores how language technologies can be designed, adapted, and evaluated for real-world use, particularly in educational, healthcare, and multilingual settings. I am especially interested in the role of LLMs in improving translation quality, supporting underserved languages, and developing AI-assisted systems that can make knowledge and services more accessible.
In my teaching and mentoring, I work with students in programming, data structures and algorithms, software engineering, machine learning, deep learning, and applied artificial intelligence. I aim to help students build strong technical foundations, develop disciplined problem-solving skills, and connect computer science theory with real computational practice.
