Greetings! I am a Computer Science Ph.D. candidate at the University of Calgary, advised by Prof. Marina L. Gavrilova in the Biometric Technologies Lab (BT Lab). My research studies the temporal dynamics of linguistic, affective, and psychological traits in human- and LLM-generated social media text, with the goal of building interpretable deep learning architectures for misinformation detection and trustworthy AI systems. I develop hybrid models that fuse domain-specific interpretable features with contextual representations from large language models to enable transparent affect and behavior modeling. I am broadly interested in advancing Generative Explainable AI (G-XAI) by integrating LLM-driven explanations with online social behavioral and psychological signals to enable trustworthy, user-centric human-AI interaction.

In collaboration with Alberta Health Services, the University of Calgary’s Department of Political Science, and the Cumming School of Medicine, I have led LLM-based social media mining initiatives to analyze public trust in Canadian healthcare and produce actionable insights for policy and practice. My work has appeared in venues such as TMLR, IEEE Access, and IEEE Human-Machine Systems, among others, and is supported by NSERC, Alberta Innovates, and institutional transdisciplinary grants.
