Computer Science instructor and Eucatastrophe Enthusiast
By profession, Nakhat is a Computer Science Instructor with doctorate in Computational linguistics. She loves languages, with fluency in English and Urdu and varied skills in Chinese and Punjabi etc. She is especially fascinated with sounds. Literature is an escape for her.
Born in Pakistan into a literary family, Urdu has always been her primary language. Her father's diction deeply impacted her own and she got love for languages and pronunciation intricacies from him. She went on to study Computer Science, but linguistics soon crept in, leading her to study speech and language processing - a journey that began in her undergraduate studies, continuing through research, up to her PhD.
Nakhat has instructed courses like Algorithm Analysis, Data Structures, and Compiler Construction, among others. A naturalized Canadian, she now lives in the United States with her husband—who accompanies her to Moots and Smials—and their two children, who bring laughter (and frowns) to her every day.
