About Me

I am a 1st-year Master's student at the NLP Department, MBZUAI. I am currently supervised by Prof. Kentaro Inui and Dr. Xiuying Chen. Previously, I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), Surabaya, Indonesia.

Research Interest

My research interests lie in Natural Language Processing and model interpretability, with a particular focus on non-transformer language models and multimodal systems. I explore how these models represent and process information, aiming to make their internal mechanisms more transparent and trustworthy. You can find examples of my work in the Publications and Projects sections.
