Shafaq Siddiqi is a teaching assistant at Institute of Interactive Systems and Data Science, Graz University of Technology, Austria. Her research focuses on exploiting data characteristics for data cleaning for large-scale data. Currently exploring the domains
of heterogenous data preprocessing and challenges in multi-modal data alignment. She also has expertise in Natural Language Processing (NLP) specifically in processing semantic graphs for entity resolution. She is also
a PMC member of Apache SystemDS with contributions to implementing linear algebra-based cleaning operations and a framework for cleaning pipelines
optimization. Before joining TU Graz, She was serving as Lecturer in the department of Computer Science at Sukkur IBA University (SIBAU), Pakistan.
