Engineering explainable AI systems where accuracy alone is not enough.

LinkedIn Kaggle Email


I am a Master's student in Artificial Intelligence, working at the intersection of Explainable AI and Quantum Machine Learning. My focus is on breaking down the black box of deep learning models for high-stakes domains — particularly clinical diagnostics — where interpretability is not a nice-to-have but a requirement for adoption.

Alongside research, I build production-grade systems: end-to-end ML pipelines, mobile applications in Flutter, and deployed inference services.


Research Focus

Explainable AI for healthcare. Applying feature attribution methods (SHAP, LIME, Integrated Gradients, Grad-CAM) to make medical diagnostics interpretable for clinicians, not just data scientists.

Quantum Machine Learning. Building hybrid quantum-classical neural networks and studying whether the added complexity can be justified through interpretability analysis.

Trustworthy decision frameworks. Combining deep learning architectures (GNNs, Transformers) with rule-based interpretable layers like Fuzzy Logic.

RadXplain — Explainable Chest X-Ray Abnormality Detection

YOLOv8s · EigenCAM · ONNX · Gradio

End-to-end medical imaging system that detects 8 classes of chest X-ray abnormalities and explains each detection with an EigenCAM heatmap. Trained on 4,380 VinDr-CXR scans using Weighted Boxes Fusion of three radiologists' annotations. Achieves mAP@0.5 = 0.331 with strong per-class performance on anatomical features (Aortic enlargement AP 0.878, Cardiomegaly AP 0.864).

ResearchGate preprint: 10.13140/RG.2.2.11569.34403


Currently

  • Refining quantum-classical explainability frameworks and human-interpretable validation methods
  • Building deployment pipelines that bring research models to production
  • Open to research collaborations in XAI, medical imaging, or trustworthy AI

Ask me about: why your model acts like a black box, and how to add transparency layers that clinicians actually trust.
