Treasure Mayowa

I'm an undergraduate student studying Computer Science with Electronics at at Lead City University, Nigeria.

My research interest lies in ensuring the development of AI systems that are robust, efficient and transparent, and can be deployed in safety-critical and resource-constrained settings. My recent work has focused on LLM confidence alignment, cross-lingual reasoning faithfulness, and evaluation gaps in non-Western contexts.
