About Me
I am a Ph.D. student at the UKRI CDT in NLP at University of Edinburgh, advised by Prof. Frank Keller and Prof. Mirella Lapata. I am also a member of the Edinburgh NLP of School of Informatics.
My research interests lie at the intersection of language and vision. I am particularly passionate about controllable and explainable text generation that leverage visual input. By extending LLMs to process visual signals, I aim to bridge the gap between vision and language, contributing to the advancement of intelligent systems capable of seamlessly integrating text and imagery.
