That random moment at a conference when you realise your badge doesn't say "PhD student" anymore. Just your name and your new affiliation. Feels good, feels weird. 😊😊. Seeing the academic world from this new side hits different for sure. #Facct2025

Im really excited to be presenting this work in Greece! 🏛️. As generative text models start reshaping how we search for information, understanding their societal impact is more important than ever. 🔎. If you’ll be at #ACMFAccT2025, let’s grab a coffee and chat! ☕️.

Yay! Our work 'Can Third-Parties Read Our Emotions?' was accepted to #ACL2025 Main 🎉!. We compare emotions that social media users identified in their posts to third party humans and LLM agent responses, showing why emotion identification is nuanced and personal. 😊. #NLP #LLMs

As a researcher working at the intersection of Ethics in AI and NLP, I’ve always dreamed of submitting to FAccT — but timing never worked out. The 'fact' that I finally was able to and the paper being accepted, means the world to me. 🥹.

Im so excited that my work got accepted to FAccT 2025! 🎉. This was the first part of my internship project at Salesforce Research, where we qualitatively explored how LLM-based search fail in delivering holistic, accurate, and verifiable info. #Facct2025 #NLProc @SFResearch
