"Science is an error-correcting process." β Charles S. Peirce
I am a Machine Learning Researcher and PhD candidate at Tampere University, specializing in Signal Processing and Machine Learning.
My research focuses on multimodal learning, representation learning, and audio understanding. My work involves developing and optimizing deep learning models for audio classification, sound event detection, multimodal alignment/grounding, and cross-modal information retrieval.
