About Me

I am a second-year Graduate student at the Department of Computer Science, Rutgers University-New Brunswick. My research interests lie in Explainable AI (XAI), with a focus on large language models (LLMs). Before that, I obtained my bachelor’s degree from the University of Liverpool.

Research Interests

Explainable AI, Natural Language Processing, Interpretability, Reason and Memory
