I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Computer Science at California State University, Dominguez Hills. My academic work is centered on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Large Language Models (LLMs), Neural Machine Translation (NMT), and Low-resource Language Technologies.
My research investigates how language technologies can be designed, adapted, and evaluated for real-world settings, particularly in multilingual, educational, and domain-specific contexts. I am especially interested in the use of LLMs to improve translation quality, support low-resource languages, and develop AI-assisted systems that can be useful in education, healthcare, and other socially meaningful domains.
In addition to my research, I teach and mentor students in areas including programming languages (Python, C/C++, Java, HTML/CSS), data structures and algorithms analysis, software engineering, machine learning, deep learning, and applied AI. My teaching emphasizes conceptual clarity, practical problem-solving, and helping students connect theoretical computer science concepts to real computational systems.Â
