Experience

1. Assistant Research Professor

   Johns Hopkins Whiting School Of Engineering

   Nov 2025 — Present · Baltimora, MD, US

   As an Assistant Research Professor (non-tenure track position), I focus on research and mentoring PhD and Master’s students. My work centers on multimodal LLMs for conversation analysis, voice conversion, and speaker characterization, with the goal of making machine learning systems more robust and trustable. I also teach lectures in Machine Learning for Signal Processing, AI, and Biometrics, helping students develop a deeper understanding of both the capabilities and limitations of these technologies.
