Iqra Ameer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Pennsylvania State University Abington. She joined the faculty after completing her Postdoctoral Research at Yale University and the University of Texas at Houston, where her research focused on suicide ideation detection using clinical text, particularly through techniques like named entity recognition. Dr. Ameer earned her Ph.D. in Computer Science from Instituto Politécnico Nacional in 2022, where she distinguished herself in her doctoral studies by working on multi-label emotion classification tasks involving code-mixed and monolingual text. Her research addresses challenges related to text analysis, emotion classification, mental health illness detection, fake news identification, hate speech, toxic speech detection, and author profiling. Dr. Ameer's extensive training in both collaborative and individual research settings has prepared her to contribute significantly to the field of computer science, particularly in applications of machine learning and natural language processing.
