Building AI that knows
when to be certain.
I design reliable AI systems that combine multimodal learning, retrieval, and confidence-aware decision making—grounded in an interdisciplinary foundation spanning data science and engineering.
01 / Perspective
My work sits at the intersection of machine intelligence and engineering judgment. I build models that do more than predict—they measure uncertainty, retrieve evidence, and know when to step back.
Making confidence
measurable.
Research on trustworthy multimodal systems, evidence retrieval, calibration, and selective decision making.

Reliability-Aware Multimodal AI
Mitigating Visual Hallucinations through Retrieval-Augmented Reliability-Aware Inference
A framework that retrieves external visual evidence, estimates instance-level reliability, and decides whether to accept, answer with caution, or abstain when evidence is weak.
