I'm a graduate student pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science at University of North Texas. I currently work as a Research Assistant in the Information Retrieval and Text Mining Lab supervised by Dr. Wei Jin. Before, I have been part of the Machine Learning Research Lab supervised by Dr. Cornelia Caragea.
I completed my M.S. in Computer Science and B.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science at University of Bucharest, Romania.




I am interested in exploring fields like machine learning, natural language processing, text mining, and artificial intelligence. Recently, I've focused my research efforts on summarization with applications on keyphrase extraction.

I present the tutorial "Improving Search and Retrieval in Digital Libraries by Leveraging Keyphrase Extraction Systems" at the 2018 Joint Conference on Digital Libraries on June 3rd, 2018 in Fort Worth, Texas.
