Experience

	Old Dominion University, USA Graduate Research Assistant, Department of Computer Science	Jan 2022 - Present
I am currently researching on identifying objective measures using eye movements to effectively assess the engagement of fake news. I worked on a project that analyzes the reading patterns of researchers using eye tracking. I collaborated with Pennsylvania State University on researching and developing methods to automatically extract features from papers for predicting reproducibility of scientific papers. I also worked on encoding Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs) using word embedding and building a heuristic classifier that will predict if a given page of ETD is a title page or not. I volunteered as a graduate student assistant for the ODU Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) in Disinformation Detection and Analytics Summer 2022 program.
