About me

I am a researcher working on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, with a focus on developing general-purpose methods and frameworks that are theoretically grounded, practically meaningful, and broadly applicable across domains.

I view trustworthy AI as an interdisciplinary challenge that connects technical performance, uncertainty, fairness, ethics, and governance. Drawing on ideas from Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, and real-world institutional contexts, I aim to develop rigorous and useful methods for building AI systems that are interpretable, reliable, fair, accountable, and responsible.
