Shafaq
Shafaq Siddiqi is pursuing her Ph.D. in computer science under the supervision of Prof. Matthias Boehm at the 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. Shafaq Siddiqi is also a committer and PMC member in 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.
