Shaz Furniturewala
AI Researcher · NLP & Machine Learning
I work on making language models fairer, more honest, and better aligned with how humans actually think and communicate. I’m particularly interested in NLP, fairness in language models, and mechanistic interpretability.
I studied Computer Science at BITS Pilani, where I also TA’d Graph Mining and Neural Networks. During my undergrad I spent a year doing research at the SMOL Lab at the National University of Singapore with Prof. Kokil Jaidka, and the summer before that at Adobe’s MDSR Lab. I published at EMNLP, ACL, AAAI, and WASSA in 2024. I currently work as an AI Research Engineer at AlphaSense.
Outside research, I have strong opinions about sci-fi and fantasy books, and I take board games perhaps more seriously than I should.
