Hello world! I am a PhD Student at CICS UMass Amherst interested in explainable and trustworthy ML systems with special interest in LLMs and deep neural nets. I am advised by Dr. Przemyslaw Grabowicz, and am a member of the SIMS Lab.

Previously, I received my Bachelors of Science from Northeastern University, where I majored in Computer Science with a concentration in AI and a minor in Mathematics.

I believe that machine learning systems perform better when we can understand them, especially as humans become increasingly in the loop in ML usage. Our newest AI systems need to be explainable and align with our values and goals. My research explores how we can create these trustworthy and intuitive systems. If you are interested, or just want to talk, feel free to reach out.
