About Me

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the VIDA Lab in NYU, where I am fortunate to be working with Professor Juliana Freire.

I received my PhD in 2024 in Computer Science from Northeastern University, where I was advised by Professor Renée J. Miller.

My research interests include finding semantics in Data Lakes to perform Data Discovery tasks.
