Current investigations, collaborative systems work, and earlier studies. Each project page describes the question, contribution, evidence, and remaining limitations.

Ongoing research

ERL — Emergent Retrieval Landmark

I study how candidate access, evidence selection, and reading affect multi-hop answers. Preliminary findings motivate further comparisons with stronger retrieval and scoring methods.

RIFT — Recoverability-Gated Implicit Facial Dynamics

I investigate how speech-predictable facial motion relates to rendered articulation. Following a negative predictive pilot, RIFT-M focuses on measurement reliability.

Applied research & engineering

Speech-Driven Avatar Systems

Collaborative MILab and industry work on speech-to-avatar integration, distributed inference, and Jetson deployment. Niloy and I are exploring a manuscript direction from the deployed PersonaPlex–IMTalker pipeline.

Collaborative applied research · Portions closed source

AirFLOW — Browser-Based Aerodynamic Analysis

A preliminary browser workbench developed with aerospace practitioner input: STL inspection, custom VLM analysis, and OpenFOAM case preparation. CFD simulations remain future work.

Completed studies

PNEUMA — Video Memory for Long-Form Question Answering

Our completed four-person undergraduate thesis combines pretrained perception with SQL, multi-aspect vector retrieval, and temporal memory. I am considering architectural renovation and renewed evaluation.

StreamTalker-GS — Speech-Driven 3DGS Experiments

I tested affine covariance transport in Gaussian avatars. Geometric differences did not support the required association with rendering residuals across three identities, so I set the hypothesis aside.
