ABOUT

I am a PhD student in the Computing and Society group, supervised by Prof. Bilal Zafar. My primary research interests lie at the intersection of Natural Language Processing and computational science. I am interested in all things LLMs—exploring their quirks, understanding their potential, and ensuring they contribute meaningfully to society. 

Research Interests

  • Responsible and trustworthy AI
  • Fairness, Bias, and Diversity in LLMs
  • Human-AI interaction
  • Applications of AI/ML to Social Sciences
