I will use this space to share project updates, practical lessons from building multimodal machine-learning systems, and reflections on reproducible AI research.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My current interests include medical AI, multimodal representation learning, computer vision, foundation models, and AI for scientific discovery. Publications and longer-term work are collected on the

Our work studies how foundation models can transfer knowledge from larger, pain-agnostic datasets into small, pain-specific neuroimaging cohorts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The resulting framework combines multimodal information within the target cohort with representations learned from external fMRI data. The paper is available on
