Research

My main interest in computer science is confined to natural language processing, as well as its various applications for digital humanities. In particular, my current research studies explore these areas:

• computational discourse analysis,

• emotionality in discourse,

• sarcasm detection and sentiment analysis.

I primarily work with natural language processing toolkits and machine learning models to study the social and semantic dimensions of linguistic structures and mutations in texts as they propagate through time and space. Nonetheless, my interests and practices extend to investigating the influences of computing technologies and digitization on modes of thinking and inquiry. In this respect, I am inclined to study the ethical-social-semantic implications of computing technologies on writing and coding practices. To serve these aims, my work has come to focus on multidisciplinary and collaborative efforts, drawing upon and contributing to the fertile intersections of studies in Computer Science, Digital Humanities (DH), Science and Technologies Studies (STS), and Philosophy of Technology.
