PUBLICATIONS

How Multimodal AI Is Impacting Healthcare

Forbes Technology Council

Explores how multimodal AI integrates diverse data sources -- medical images, genetic profiles, vocal biomarkers -- to improve diagnostic accuracy and enable personalized medicine. Draws on experience building multimodal AI at Microsoft and Mind Mosaic AI for neurodivergent support.

Article

Improving Transparency In Black Box AI: Expert Strategies That Work

Forbes Technology Council (Expert Panel)

Contributed strategy on creating audit trails for AI-powered systems. When a large language model makes a decision that affects real lives, audit trails capture inputs, logic and outcomes so we can trace, question and improve the system -- accountability, not just code.

Article

Therapeutic Bot: Ethical Concerns in AI Therapy for Neurodivergence

Journal of International Scientific Research and Reports (JISRR)

Examines critical ethical, privacy, and security concerns in deploying therapeutic chatbots for neurodivergent individuals. Covers informed consent, data security, algorithmic bias, and the balance between AI-driven therapy and human clinical relationships. Includes experimental evaluation of Mind Mosaic AI's ethical framework.

Research Paper

Responsible Adoption of the Latest AI Technologies in the Legal Industry

International Journal of Engineering and Science (IJES)

Investigates the responsible integration of cutting-edge AI technologies within the legal industry, addressing challenges around bias, transparency, accountability, and the ethical frameworks needed for trustworthy AI adoption in high-stakes legal contexts.

Research Paper

Fair and Optimal Resource Allocation in Wireless Sensor Networks

Missouri University of Science and Technology (Scholars' Mine)

Master's thesis on jointly optimizing transmission power and routing path selection for fair resource allocation in interference-constrained wireless sensor networks. Proposes a Lagrangian multi-variable optimization approach for multipath routing, validated through both MATLAB-Simulink simulations and hardware experiments using USRP2 software-defined radios with DS-BPSK and DS-OFDM schemes.
