My Role
I am a PhD researcher in AI psychology, a field that uses intelligent systems to study and solve problems traditionally addressed by human cognition.
Specifically, I work on how advanced AI models can be developed and used in ways that humans can understand, trust, and apply correctly in real decision-making contexts.
My work focuses on interpretable AI for time-series and biosignal data, using methods such as deep learning and explainable AI (XAI) to study how model outputs, limitations, and uncertainty should be communicated when AI is used as decision support.
Large Language Models & Unethical AI
In parallel, I work with large language models (LLM), including fine-tuning (LoRA) and dataset design. In my teaching, I also cover unethical and manipulative LLM behavior in a controlled way, using it to illustrate risks, bias, and failure modes, and to train master students in responsible and safety-aware AI development using Python.
