Building interpretable AI systems for scientific discovery.

I explore how generative representation learning can reveal meaningful structure in complex data — from retinal disease progression to tropical cyclone genesis.

Research snapshot

Two scientific domains. One representation-learning question.

My research asks how machine learning models can help us reason about complex transitions, instead of simply assigning labels.

Core method

MixtureBetaVAE

A mixture-of-encoders β-VAE with shared decoder, designed for interpretable latent spaces, counterfactual traversal, and scientific reasoning.

Interactive preview

Latent spaces should be explored, not just evaluated.

This placeholder demo shows the type of interface we can later connect to real model outputs.

Healthy Suspect Glaucoma

Suspect-like transition

The latent point is moving through an intermediate region. Later, this can display real RNFL/GCIPL reconstructions or cyclone tensor frames.
