Interests

My main research goals focus on: 
1) Developing computational models that can harnessing textual emotion signals to gain better insights on how people think and behave
2) Developing more emotion-sensitive systems to improve human-computer interactions

Projects of interest include but not limited to: emotion detection and classification from social media text and content, sentiment analysis on consumer reviews, developing machine learning and deep learning models for natural language processing and understanding, cryptocurrency price prediction using sentiment analysis, mental health detection and monitoring through social media, cyberbullying detection

** Currently looking for postgradaute students to work on cyberbullying detection from social media (PhD), sentiment analysis on product reviews (Masters) and machine learning to predict vaccine hesitancy (Masters). Please contact me via email if interested.
