I'm a Ph.D. candidate(ABD) and Responsible AI scientist passionate about building ethical and impactful AI solutions. Driven by AI's potential to create positive societal change, I'm spearheading research on the fairness of AI/ML systems under the supervision of Dr. Deepak Khazanchi.

My research focuses on fairness in the machine learning process, particularly how it's understood and experienced by both practitioners and users. I've developed a multidimensional framework that captures core attributes of perceived fairness throughout the ML lifecycle, helping teams conceptualize and measure fairness more effectively. Using a combination of participatory design research and statistical modeling, I collaborate with ML practitioners, domain experts, and end-users to investigate how fairness is perceived, interpreted, and applied in practice. This has led to the creation of validated survey tools, practical resources, and comparative studies that bridge the gap between technical development and human experience. My work is highly relevant to current trends in machine learning, including generative AI, offering timely insights into fairness, transparency, and accountability in rapidly evolving AI systems. A critical aspect of my work involves developing AI/ML systems that generate tangible outcomes reducing biased decision-making, saving costs, promoting ethical practices, and addressing real-world business challenges.
