MSc in Engineering AI • Carnegie Mellon University Africa
Mastercard Foundation Scholar • President, CMU-Africa Research Club
I am a Master’s student in Engineering AI at Carnegie Mellon University Africa and a Mastercard Foundation Scholar. As a research assistant in Prof. Prasenjit Mitra’s Spatial and Language Technologies Lab, I investigate how AI can better understand and interact with humans. My work spans human-AI interaction, socially aware and multimodal AI, humor generation and detection, and AI applications for mental health, with the goal of creating intelligent systems that are both effective and socially responsible.

Research Focus: Socially Aware AI • Grounded & Multimodal Reasoning • Human-AI Interaction
I'm applying to PhD programs to advance research in socially intelligent AI that communicates with social awareness, reasons across modalities, and generalizes beyond linguistic boundaries—moving toward AI systems that think and collaborate more like humans.
