My research explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) can be applied to healthcare, informatics, and predictive analytics. I focus on developing intelligent, ethical, and explainable AI systems that enhance disease detection, improve diagnosis accuracy, and support better decision-making.
I approach AI research from a practical and interdisciplinary perspective, combining computing, healthcare, and business applications. My goal is to make AI technologies more responsible, interpretable, and inclusive — particularly for underrepresented communities and diverse data environments.
