I'm an applied scientist working on trustworthy multimodal AI — building systems that are reliable when it matters and culturally relevant to the places they operate in.
At Monash University, I'm working with Associate Professor Risqi Saputra and Professor Taufiq Asyhari on conformal prediction for vision-language navigation. The goal is simple to state and hard to achieve: when a model claims confidence, we want provable bounds, not just a number.
The other thread in my work is cultural inclusion. Southeast Asia is one of the world's most linguistically and visually diverse regions, and it's almost entirely absent from the training data and benchmarks that define what modern AI can and cannot do. I've been building the datasets, benchmarks, and adaptation methods to change that, with SEACrowd and through my own research.
Research Focus
Trustworthy AI
Conformal prediction for vision-language models. Uncertainty quantification with statistical guarantees — not just calibration heuristics.
Cultural AI
Vision-language benchmarks and adaptation methods for Southeast Asia. Making AI systems actually reflect the world they're deployed in.
Geospatial AI
Remote sensing and satellite imagery for flood segmentation, mining mapping, and environmental monitoring. Published in IEEE and Remote Sensing of Environment.
Production ML
End-to-end ML systems from research to deployment — cloud infrastructure, inference at scale, reliability engineering.
