Research statement

“Accuracy is only the beginning. High-impact AI must also expose evidence, withstand rigorous testing, and make sense to the people who rely on it.”

Muhammad Umair Danish, PhD

I welcome collaborations in mechanistic interpretability, human-centered XAI, energy AI, and rigorous evaluation.
