Research & teaching

Research with
engineering in mind.

I study how intelligent systems behave under imperfect data, adversarial conditions, and controlled multimodal changes — and help others learn the foundations behind them.

Ongoing research / Federated learning

FedMed-Defender.

Investigating Byzantine-robust federated aggregation under non-IID medical data and malicious client updates, using a PyTorch experimental framework.

My work includes implementing aggregation baselines, adversarial scenarios, and evaluation workflows while exploring robust statistics and update filtering.

Ongoing research / Multimodal AI

Vision-language models
& interpretability.

Exploring how controlled image and question variations affect predictions and internal representations in vision-language models.

This involves exploratory multimodal experiments, hypothesis refinement, and evaluation design.
