Perspective

Thoughtful research, useful systems.

I develop and study AI methods that learn from visual and structured information, make decisions, and interact with the world. My work ranges from efficient visual perception and active exploration to broader machine learning and software engineering. I enjoy moving between a precise research question and the practical decisions needed to make a system dependable.

Collaboration is central to how I work. I care about clear evidence, reusable tools, and explanations that make technical ideas accessible beyond their immediate field.
