About me

Hi there!
I'm a PhD student at Language Technology Lab (LTL), University of Amsterdam, where I'm advised by Christof Monz. My research interests in Natural Language Processing generally revolve around Multilinguality and Cross-lingual Transfer Learning, specifically for low-resource languages.
I've got my master’s in artificial intelligence from Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) in March 2022. I was fortunate to be supervised by Mohammad Taher Pilehvar. During this time, I was interested in Analyzing Contextual Embedding Spaces and Interpreting Language Models.
