About

I specialize in building generative AI applications for nuclear science and technology. My research interests are in active learning, multimodal AI, human-in-the-loop machine learning, natural language processing, LLMs, agentic RAG, audio, video and image processing. My work focuses on adaptive ML techniques using multimodal sources to innovate and develop learning methodologies that include estimations of uncertainties. This helps understand the environment better and integrate human feedback into the system.
