My first name is pronounced as /ˈtʃaː.ɦət/
I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate, majoring in Computer Science at George Mason University. I'm advised by Prof. Ziwei Zhu
and Prof. Antonios Anastasopoulos. I am also advised by
Prof. Aylin Caliskan
at the University of Washington.
I specialize in sociocultural biases, ethics, and fairness in multimodal and multilingual NLP.
Currently, I am working towards understanding how biases perpetuate and reinforce in
(large) vision-language models, and exploring ways to mitigate these drawing on social psychology and cognitive sciences.
The times when I'm not a Researcher, I'm a Poet!
