Hadeel Alnegheimish

Hadeel Alnegheimish is a dual-affiliated academic serving as an Ibn Khaldun Postdoctoral Research Fellow at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at King Saud University. Her research focuses on advancing machine learning and natural language processing, particularly in neuro-symbolic reasoning, model interpretability, and robust numerical reasoning. She holds a PhD from Imperial College London, advised by Alessandra Russo and Pranava Madhyastha, and completed an internship at DeepMind's Cognition team.

Education:

• PhD in Computer Science, Imperial College London (2023)
• M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence, Imperial College London
• B.Sc. in Computer and Information Sciences, King Saud University

Research Interests: Compositional reasoning, model evaluation, and neuro-symbolic integration. She emphasizes transparent and reliable systems that demonstrate how answers are derived, alongside advancing evaluation methodologies. Current projects explore symbolic rule learning for LLMs and preserving word order sensitivity in neural models.

Grants & Advising: Currently recruiting MIT UROPs for summer 2025. Collaborates actively with peers in neuro-symbolic NLP and evaluates model behavior through initiatives like Forced Invalidation.

Labs & Teams: Participates in CSAIL's machine learning initiatives and leads pedagogical efforts at King Saud University, fostering interdisciplinary research in computational linguistics and AI.
