My research areas include social media, FinTech, and machine learning. I am particularly interested in information extraction from text (e.g., user-generated content, qualitative financial disclosure, and scientific articles). I received my PhD from the University of Cincinnati (OBAIS) in 2015, where I was advised by Dr. Michael Fry. I also have an MS in Statistics from Miami University. I am an affiliated faculty member of the Stevens Institute for Artificial Intelligence (SIAI).
