I am a fourth-year PhD candidate at VIS lab, University of Amsterdam and ELLIS Unit Amsterdam. I am supervised by Pascal Mettes and Rita Cucchiara. My research explores non-Euclidean representation spaces (hyperbolic and hyperspherical) as a principled foundation for open-world visual recognition and multimodal foundation models. More recently, I am interested in how the geometry of the representation space can structure and ground embodied world models, so that agents can reason about actions and uncertainty at multiple levels of abstraction.

I care deeply about building inclusive research communities. I co-organized the Women in Computer Vision (WiCV) Workshop Workshop at CVPR 2021 & 2022 and have served on the WiCV board since 2022. Outside research, I am a photographer and home barista, always in search of good light and a perfect cup wherever I go!
