About Me
I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate at the Faculty of Law, University of Montreal, exploring the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Law. As a member of the Cyberjustice Laboratory and under the supervision of Prof. Karim Benyekhlef, my research focuses on leveraging AI to improve the accessibility, fairness, and efficiency of the justice system.
My work applies AI to the legal domain across three core themes: (1) AI-powered Legal Information Systems, (2) Intelligent Dispute Resolution Support, and (3) AI-driven Identifying, Verifying, and Mitigating Flaws in Judicial Decision-Making.
I have published and presented my research at several international conferences. Notably, my co-authored paper received the Best Paper Award at the International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems (JURIX) 2023, with further recognition at the ICAIL 2023 workshops and JURIX 2024.
I am always open to new collaborations—feel free to get in touch if you’d like to connect!
