Usman Gohar
Hi! I am a Ph.D. student in Department of Computer Science at Iowa State University (ISU). I received my M.Sc in Computer Science from the University of Minnesota and my B.Eng. degree from the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST). My research interests are broadly at the intersection of software engineering and machine learning, with a particular focus on Fairness in AI and LLMs, social computing, and AI for social good.
My industrial experience includes working as a Data Scientist in fields ranging from agriculture, manufacturing, and power systems with specific experience in forecasting, predictive analytics, and model deployment.
