I officially graduated with a PhD in Computer Science from @KingsCollegeLon. When I started the #PhD, #LLMs were already capturing attention but the field evolved faster than I had imagined and many had predicted at that times. My first paper introduced a benchmark, at a time when data-centric #AI research didn’t always get the appreciation we’re seeing today. I’m grateful to have contributed to a space that’s being acknowledged more and more critical to develop useful and responsible AI. The PhD has taught me more than just running experiments. I‘ve learned to communicate ideas clearly, lead teams across institutions and time zones, manage my time wisely, and how to stay focused when the field is evolving rapidly. Grateful for the opportunities I received and thankful to everyone who supported me on this journey.
