I’m currently a fourth-year PhD student at the UNC-Chapel Hill where I am advised by Shashank Srivastava. My research focuses on interpretable and explainable NLP, AI safety, reasoning, fairness, and robustness. My ultimate goal is to advance safe and transparent AI systems by deepening our understanding of black-box models.

I spent my summer (2025) at IFM MBZUAI Silicon Valley Lab with Mikhail Yurochkin. Before PhD, I earned my bachelor’s degree from the Department of Computer Engineering Boğaziçi University, where my thesis advisor was Pinar Yanardag.
