Education
Ph.D. from the University of Toronto and Vector Institute, advised by Dr. Frank Rudzicz
Background
His research interests include Natural Language Processing and Explainable AI, focusing on understanding the mechanisms and abilities of AIs and incorporating these findings into controlling the AIs. His goal is to build safe, trustworthy, and efficient agentic AIs that can assist humans in discovering knowledge and better performing high-stake tasks.
Miscellany
Will teach a new seminar course, 'Topics in Explainable Natural Language Processing,' in the 2025 Spring semester; presented a tutorial at NAACL, 'Explanation in the Era of Large Language Models'; organized a workshop at AAAI, 'Multimodal Machine Learning for Mental Healthcare'.
