This is Ashima, a PhD student at UCLA CS advised by Prof. Saadia Gabriel.

My research agenda centers on building equitable and socially responsible AI. As humans interact with AI systems, it is imperative to ensure that these models are safe, inclusive and fair. My research achieves this by focusing on a) fair detection of toxicity and harmful behaviors and b) studying misinformation in LLMs.
