I’m a Computer Science Ph.D. student at Munich University, advised by Prof. Hinrich Schütze. I’m also affiliated as a junior member with the Munich Center for Machine Learning.

My current research focuses on Multilingual NLP, specifically on scaling NLP technologies to include more languages:

  • GlotCC: CommonCrawl corpus for more than 1,000 languages.
  • MEXA: Multilingual Evaluation of English-Centric LLMs via Cross-Lingual Alignment for many langauges.

Before starting my Ph.D., I completed my M.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering at Sharif University of Technology in 2022. I earned two B.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering from Isfahan University of Technology in 2020. Additionally, I was a research intern with the User Interfaces group at Aalto University during the summers of 2021 and 2022. I contributed to the development of the Aalto Interface Metrics (AIM) project, a service and codebase for computational GUI evaluation.

I am currently looking for a summer internship. If you know of any opportunities or would like to discuss potential collaborations, feel free to reach out!
