Research & innovation

Questions before conclusions.

Our proposed research direction connects careful evaluation with responsible use. Start with the questions, then inspect the evidence and its limits.

A proposed direction

The questions we want to explore.

These themes describe collaboration interests. They do not represent completed projects or published findings.

Proposed theme

Evaluation & robustness

How can we understand where an AI system works, where it fails, and how reliably it behaves when conditions change?

We propose investigating evaluation methods that connect benchmark results with the demands of real tasks. This includes testing failure modes, documenting uncertainty, and making the limits of evidence clear before deployment decisions.

Proposed theme

Responsible deployment & human oversight

What evidence, safeguards, and human decisions are needed before and after an AI system enters practical use?

We propose studying how evaluation, privacy, accountability, and human oversight can inform deployment decisions. The focus is on defining useful boundaries, escalation paths, and ways to learn from real-world feedback.

Research principles

Make the evidence inspectable.

State the question.

Explain what is being investigated, for whom, and under which conditions an answer could be useful.

Show the limits.

Document methods, uncertainty, limitations, and sources so readers can assess what an output supports.

Consider the consequences.

Connect findings to human oversight, privacy, and accountability before proposing practical use.
