I am an ELLIS PhD student at University of Amsterdam, advised by Pascal Mettes. My main research is in non-Euclidean representation learning (especially hyperbolic and hyperspherical representation spaces) and their applications to 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 was a visiting researcher at UNIMORE with Rita Cucchiara and a research intern at Meta FAIR with Pascale Fung. I care deeply about building inclusive research communities. I co-organized the Women in Computer Vision (WiCV) Workshop at CVPR 2021 & 2022 and have served on the WiCV board since 2022.
Outside academia, I am a photographer and home barista, always in search of good light and a perfect cup wherever I go!
