I’m currently a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) candidate at the University of Adelaide, where my research bridges psychology, mathematics, and computer science. My work focuses on quantifying persuasion in online discourse, using methods from natural language processing (NLP), belief modeling, and network analysis. I explore how arguments influence belief revision, particularly within large-scale online forums like r/ChangeMyView, and assess whether large language models (LLMs) can meaningfully approximate human judgment in persuasive communication
