My name is Eric Phann. I am currently a Business Analyst at Bank of America.
I am also a grad student in the Data Science & Business Analytics M.S. program at UNC Charlotte.
Please feel free to reach out -- I am always happy to connect! ๐
I have a strong background in linguistics and foreign languages. I'm currently learning a lot about natural language processing (NLP) techniques and large-language models (LLMs). I'm interested in researching the dynamic between LLMs and sociolinguistics.
