Biography

I’m a PhD student in the RAISE Lab at Northeastern University London. My research focus is on augmenting Language Models with databases and graphs, unlocking their reasoning power for generation and the exploration of structure in knowledge graphs and relational databases.

I’m more broadly interested in exploring the efficacy of Language Models in extracting, utilizing and generating information through meta languages.

Before joining NU London, I was a research assistant at University of Kashan, working on dialogue systems and natural language understanding.
