Research Projects
Cymatics
A multidisciplinary exhibition project that uses improved technology to transform full-range sound into immersive visual projections, creating healing experiences that bridge sensory barriers for hearing and non-hearing audiences.
Beyond Earth's Boundaries
A multi-year research program that uses the ISS to analyze environmental changes through custom image processing and machine learning techniques, observing Earth's interconnected systems from a unique perspective outside the atmosphere.
Deepfake Detection
A detection program that combines technological innovation with ethical responsibility to create a complete ecosystem of detection tools, educational resources, and cross-institutional collaboration to address the adverse consequences of deepfakes in an increasingly digital world.
Reflective Exploration
A reinforcement learning framework inspired by cognitive science, which systematically translates human metacognitive principles into computational models, which overcomes the exploration challenge in sparse reward environments by implementing a two-layer reflective mechanism.
Beyond AI Labels
An empirical study quantifies how perceived creativity affects emotional responses to artworks, reveals that uniqueness is the strongest predictor of aesthetic experience, and provides measurable evidence for psychological biases in creative attribution.
Smart Task Planner
An AI-powered cognitive assistant that transforms complex tasks into manageable steps, reducing mental barriers to planning and providing clarity in unfamiliar domains - ultimately enhancing human thinking rather than simply replacing it.
