My current project focuses on understanding the biogenic volatile organic compounds emitted from the Alaskan boreal forest and their role in contributing to new particle formation. Specifically, I use gas chromatography and mass spectrometry methods to identify the composition, concentrations, diurnal profiles, and oxidation processes of these organic compounds.

Bridging AI and wildlife ecology
Physics-based and data-based solutions to handle saturated response areas in unexploded ordnance remediation.
The ecology and evolution of animal-associated microbiomes and viromes.
Theoretical modelling and numerical computation for the spinning of hydrogels.
Temperature modulation of host-parasite coevolutionary dynamics
I am broadly interested in developing safe and generalizable multimodal intelligence through algorithms that learn effectively with minimal human supervision. Currently, working on multimodal AI across video, image, audio, and language, with the goal of advancing multimodal understanding, generation, and reasoning.
