About Me
Welcome to my corner of the internet..
Hi, I am Lamia, a Graduate Assistant at the New Mexico State University, specializing in AI, NLP, and Multi-Agent systems. My research focuses on the advanced semantic structuring of text embedding and leverages Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for dynamic search engine optimization.
I also worked as a Teaching Assistant, where I took classes for Introduction to Data Structure, Data Structures and Algorithms, Java Programming, etc. My TA responsibilities include collaborating with the course instructor to update course materials, incorporating the latest industry trends and tools in lectures, conducting lab sessions and theoretical sessions, evaluating student work, and consult students during office hours.
Beyond research, I enjoy exploring new cultures through food, travel, dance, and music. Currently, I’m learning Cuban dance styles e.g. salsa and bachata to keep myself socially engaged.
