My research interests lie at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), data privacy, ethics, and security, with a focus on their applications and implications in education, healthcare, and broader societal contexts. I am particularly interested in exploring how AI technologies can be developed and deployed responsibly, ensuring transparency, trust, and equity for all users.
As an advocate for AI in education, I am passionate about advancing the ethical integration of AI tools to enhance teaching and learning while safeguarding student data and promoting digital citizenship. I also like to examine the societal acceptance of AI, aiming to bridge the gap between technological innovation and public understanding, especially in sensitive fields such as healthcare and academia.
