Research Overview
I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Computer Science at Western Illinois University, USA, with a strong academic and professional background in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and Cyber Security.
My research interests lie at the intersection of AI and Cyber Security, with a particular focus on developing advanced models for real-world problem solving. My undergraduate thesis on "Contextual Emotion Detection in Text using Deep Learning and Big Data" reflects my deep interest in natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning-based analytics, leading to multiple research publications.
I am particularly interested in applying AI techniques such as machine learning, neural networks, and Cyber Security to solve complex challenges in areas like text analysis, cybersecurity, and intelligent decision-making systems.
I have hands-on experience in software development and automation using Java, along with a solid foundation in data structures and algorithms. I am actively seeking research opportunities where I can contribute to innovative projects in AI, machine learning, and Cyber Security, and aim to pursue a PhD to advance my research in intelligent systems.
