I am a Research Assistant at the Insight Centre for Data Analytics at the University of Galway, working in the Unit for Natural Language Processing (UNLP) under the supervision of Prof. Paul Buitelaar. My research focuses on developing scalable LLM-driven methods for information extraction, multimodal document understanding, and knowledge-graph–based question answering.
As part of collaborative research teams across several industry projects, I have contributed to work on model compression, hybrid retrieval, and ontology-aligned KG construction. This includes evaluating diverse embedding models—such as knowledge graph and LASER embeddings—for intent classification, supporting the development of pruned and quantized LLMs for text classification, and co-designing hybrid QA pipelines that integrate vector retrieval with LLM-generated knowledge graphs for complex reasoning tasks. More recently, I have been involved in building agentic LLM workflows for PDF processing, OCR, table and figure extraction, and structured data generation to enable ontology-grounded QA solutions in specialised domains.
My broader interests span automated KG generation, multimodal parsing, prompt-based reasoning, and the design of practical end-to-end LLM systems that connect unstructured documents to structured semantic representations. I have published research on knowledge graphs, intent classification, recommender systems, and hybrid QA with LLMs.
