Welcome to my corner of the AI frontier
Rohan Sharma
AI/ML Research Engineer - Computer Vision - Interpretability - Computational Neuroscience - LLM Safety
I am an AI/ML research engineer focused on interpretable and trustworthy AI systems, with work spanning computer vision, deep-learning representation analysis, feature-space visualization, and model interpretability. My background connects computer science, neuroscience, and psychology, and I am pursuing an MSE in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Pennsylvania.
Featured Research
Interpretability work across vision, representation analysis, and generalization.
I work on interpretable AI systems, computer vision, learned feature representations, category structure, generalization, and responsible LLM use.
