Pioneering Trustworthy Language Models
I'm a master's student at the University of Michigan and a research assistant at the LAUNCH Lab, working with Dr. Lu Wang. My research focuses on advancing Responsible AI by enhancing the factuality of large language models and improving evaluation methods, particularly in social NLP contexts.
I'll be joining the PhD program at the University of Toronto in Fall 2025, supervised by Dr. Ishtiaque Ahmed.

Findings 2024
Developed VERIFY, a pipeline to evaluate LLMs' factuality, and created FACTBENCH a dynamic eval benchmark with 1000 prompts (Advisor: Dr. Lu Wang).
Learn MorePioneered an Urdu speech training dataset for DeepFake detection with 35,000 audios, utilizing advanced end-to-end TTS models (Advisor: Dr. Agha Raza).
Learn MoreAnalyzed commodities data and news articles using Python, NLP, and regression analysis to identify economic correlations and forecast trends.
Learn MoreDeveloped a text style transfer system for classical-to-modern English using GPT-3.5-Turbo for data augmentation, creating a parallel dataset and training a BARTForConditionalGeneration model.
Learn MoreDesigned LSTM models on complex time-series health data from wearables and diaries, achieving 88% accuracy in predicting migraines one day in advance, while managing data pipelines.
Learn MoreReproducing Liu et al.'s work on LLaVA, a multimodal LLM trained on GPT-4-generated instruction data, focusing on improving performance in visual-language tasks.
Project UnderwayTeaching courses like Git, Shell, and Servers, Deep Learning, and Human-Computer Interaction has not only deepened my technical skills but also taught me to convey complex topics clearly and empathetically. Guiding students through challenging concepts has enhanced my adaptability and passion for creating an inclusive learning environment where both my students and I grow.
