In her PhD years, she focused on understanding the internal workings of VLMs, with particular attention to scalability, interpretability, and control. Her work blends rigorous theory with practical insights, pushing forward how attention mechanisms are designed and understood in multimodal contexts.

Like many areas of machine learning, information retrieval has increasingly adopted large neural models, making mechanistic interpretability more important than ever. A key technique in this space is activation patching, which aims to localize where and how models encode relevance signals.

#NeurIPS2025 is on the horizon! Kicking off with a key position paper: “Benchmarking is Broken: Don’t Let AI Be Its Own Judge.” (arxiv.org/pdf/2510.07575) As AI use explodes, our evaluation methods lag behind. This work calls for a unified, trustworthy framework for judging AI.
