Hani Alomari’s

I am currently in the second year of my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Virginia Tech, specializing in applied machine learning with a focus on cross-modal information retrieval among various modalities. Additionally, my research interests span a wide spectrum of issues in natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV). This includes a variety of classification tasks, text-to-image generation, and other NLP/CV applications. I am under the guidance of Dr. Dr. Chris Thomas, with whom I am exploring various topics in the multimodal domain. Our efforts are geared towards enhancing cross-modal information retrieval and developing techniques to capture and connect disparate semantics across modalities. Previously, I have engaged in question-answering information retrieval with Prof. Rehab M. Duwairi, and have tackled various classification tasks, such as emotion classification and propaganda detection, in collaboration with Dr. Malak A. Abdullah.
