I’m a PhD student in the Autonomy and Verification Group from University of Manchester. The topic of my Ph.D. is Dialogue Explanation for Neuro-Symbolic AI systems. My work is under the supervision of Dr. Louise Dennis and Prof. Clare Dixon and Dr.joe Collenette. My research interests are in Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) with a particular focus on using dialogue theory to co-create explanations.

My current research interests include

  • Explainable Artificial Intelligence
  • Human and AI Collaboration
  • Neuro-Symbolic AI
  • Large Language Model
