I'm an AI Researcher, currently completing my Master's degree at Northeastern University's AI program from Khoury College of Computer Sciences (GPA: 4.0/4.0). My work sits at the intersection of contributing new knowledge to AI community and bringing real-world impact, with a focus on Foundation Generative Models, Model Interpretability, Theory of Mind in AI, and production-grade machine learning systems.
Currently, I'm working with Dr. Agata Lapedriza Garcia (Advisor), Dr. Natalie Shapira, and Dr. David Bau on testing VLMs' Theory of Mind capacity, while also architecting production RAG systems that serve thousands of users.
