About me

Hi there!
I'm a PhD student at the Language Technology Lab (LTL), University of Amsterdam, where I'm advised by Christof Monz. My research in Natural Language Processing focuses generally on multilinguality and evaluation of large language models , with a particular interest in their reasoning ability.
I previously earned my master’s in Artificial Intelligence from the Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) in March 2022, where I was supervised by Mohammad Taher Pilehvar. During my MSc, my research focused on analyzing contextual embedding spaces and interpreting language models.
In 2024, I also completed a research internship at Qualcomm AI Research, where I worked on the reasoning ability of LLMs with specific focus on Theorem proving application.
