My research focuses on multimodal misinformation detection, with an emphasis on integrating visual and textual signals to develop more robust and interpretable detection methods. Prior to my PhD, I worked on interpretable zero-shot learning using concept bottleneck models. More broadly, my interests lie in explainable AI and multimodal representation learning, particularly in their application to combating misinformation.
