Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShivani Kumar is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Michigan with eight years of experience in conversational AI and natural language processing, focused on how large language models handle rhetorical dimensions—ethos, pathos, and logos—in dialogue. Her PhD work from IIIT Delhi and a PhD internship at Adobe reflect a blend of rigorous academic research and industry-facing experimentation. She studies cultural signals, credibility, emotion management, and argumentative structure in LLM interactions, aiming to reveal subtle biases and pragmatic behaviors that standard benchmarks miss. Based in Ann Arbor, she brings both deep technical expertise and a human-centered lens to probing model reasoning and persuasion.
