Reliable and Efficient Multimodal Intelligence

I study reliable and efficient multimodal systems across language, vision, and speech, with a particular interest in model evaluation, inference-time optimization, and controllable generation. My work spans human-aligned VLM evaluation, lightweight LLM inference control, audio-text alignment, and efficient model deployment.
