Her research focuses on the development of human centric models. She is particularly interested in the development of techniques that allow human involvement at every stage of the modelling process, from data representation, to model development, to providing explanations back to the user. Her research interests include using visual analytics as a tool to aid this process.

She completed her PhD in 2023 in Computer Science at University College Dublin (Ireland). Her research focus for her PhD dissertation was in multivariate time series classification of wearable sensor data for applications in sports analytics.

Driven by a strong commitment to ensuring that AI applications are trustworthy and explainable, she hopes to use the young AI leaders program to contribute meaningfully towards regional projects that work towards AI for good.
