Nil-Jana Akpinar I am a Senior Applied Scientist in AI Safety and Security at Microsoft, focusing on making AI systems reliable, trustworthy, and safe to use for everyone. Before joining Microsoft, I was a Postdoctoral Scientist at Amazon AWS Responsible AI, where I worked on understanding users' trust in LLM generations, LLM robustness with respect to user profiles, and fairness in LLM predictions.

I hold a Ph.D. in Statistics and Machine Learning from Carnegie Mellon University, where I studied the impact of noise, proxies, and dynamics on fairness in machine learning. I also earned an M.Sc. in Mathematics and B.Sc. degrees in Economics and Mathematics from the University of Freiburg, Germany.
