About me ...

I am a third-year PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam, supervised by Maarten de Rijke and Mohammad Alian Nejadi. My research focus is on the evaluation of conversational systems, specifically from the user's perspective. I aim to improve user experience in their interaction with AI systems. I am also interested in how to leverage LLMs for evaluation and studying how factors affecting humans in system evaluation, affect LLMs when used as evaluators. Apart from that, I am an active member of Masakhane where I take part in promoting NLP for Low-resource African languages.

I completed my MSc degree from the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences - AMMI (Rwanda) supervised by Siva Reddy from McGill University. I received my BSc from Jomo Kenyatta University, Kenya.
