📚 My Research

I’m a data scientist in the Data & Research team at Detik Network. I’m working at the intersection of Information Retrieval (IR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), with a focus on building retrieval and generation systems that work reliably in multilingual, culturally diverse, and low-resource environments.

My broader research explores how Generative IR, robust RAG pipelines, and culturally aware NLP datasets can improve equitable information access. I aim to design models that are not only performant, but also transparent, fair, and socially responsible.
