I am a Ph.D. student in the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute at UC San Diego advised by Dr. David Danks.
My research focuses on the design, development, and governance of AI systems
by advancing techniques for fairness, bias mitigation, and the ethical deployment of machine learning systems.
I approach these challenges using tools from game theory, reinforcement learning, and AI safety, with an emphasis on building adaptive, accountable
systems that function effectively in dynamic and uncertain environments.
I am currently seeking internships in both industry and academia. My goal is to continue conducting sociotechnical research that
supports the ethical and responsible deployment of AI and machine learning systems.
