wHAT BROUGHT ME TO UCD

I completed my PhD and postdoc at UCD and chose to stay because of its strong interdisciplinary research environment. With collaboration across many disciplines, it’s an ideal place for impactful research.

I’m an XAI researcher focused on feature attribution and expertise-adaptive explanations. My work explores AI literacy and ethical AI use to support trustworthy, domain-aware AI systems.
