The following parts are not updated since career transition, but is left here for reference.
Software and its Engineering - my research area is SE4AI and AI4SE, with interests in neuro-symbolic approaches. I believe in addressing software problems at their root causes, rather than building stacks of solutions that only mask the underlying issues. The problematic mindset extends beyond software, and can be found in other areas such as policymaking, education, and management. I focus on identifying and resolving these challenges.
Lifecycle of AI and its Data - I did my PhD in AI Engineering, focusing on Fairness, Privacy, and Copyright. I look at these issues primarily from the perspective of Software Engineering and Software Architecture. Through understanding the relevant challenges within the lifecycle of AI and its data, Software Engineering and Software Architecture practices are critical in ensuring the end products, i.e. the AI systems, align with the ethical and legal requirements.
I have been contributing to open source projects in various domains, and I have particular expertise in the following:
