Research

My research spans computer vision, representation learning, and system-level evaluation. I’m interested in how representations and system design shape real-world model behaviour. I also explore multimodal AI and 3D spatial AI.

Semantic View Induction paper illustration

Semantic View Induction for Object-Guided Scene Structuring

Introduces a data-centric framework for discovering recurring visual configurations in scene datasets and using open-set object evidence to organise samples without changing category labels or discarding ambiguous cases.

VAAS: Vision-Attention Anomaly Scoring for Image Manipulation Detection in Digital Forensics

Introduces a dual-module approach combining global attention-based anomaly estimation with patch-level self-consistency scoring, formalising attention-driven representation analysis as a structured mechanism for interpretable anomaly detection.
