I study how foundation and agentic AI systems can reason over heterogeneous knowledge — language, images, temporal observations, and structured relations. Healthcare and biomedicine are my primary application domains, where reliable reasoning matters most.

Research agenda
One agenda connects my projects: making intelligent systems reason over heterogeneous evidence, then testing those systems in domains where context, structure, and reliability matter.
How can foundation models reason, collaborate, and adapt over long-horizon tasks with external knowledge?
Agents · memory · knowledge-guided reasoning
How can models integrate language, images, temporal signals, and graphs while preserving meaningful relationships?
Multimodal learning · temporal modeling · graphs
How can reasoning systems remain reliable when scientific data are sparse, heterogeneous, and high-stakes?
Clinical prediction · medical imaging · trustworthy AI
Selected research
These projects trace the progression from multi-agent language systems to structured and multimodal reasoning in healthcare.
