Research

Reliable learning under distribution shift.

I study adaptive and deployment-aware deep learning methods for models that must remain dependable when deployed in environments different from their training data.

Research Focus

Core adaptation settings.

01

Domain Adaptation

Adapting models from a labeled source domain to a shifted target domain.

02

Source-Free Domain Adaptation

Adapting target models when the original source data is unavailable.

Domain Generalization

Training on multiple source domains to perform well on unseen target domains.

Research agenda

From source-free adaptation to clinical robustness.

My work is motivated by practical deployment constraints: source data may be unavailable due to privacy, proprietary ownership, or storage limitations, yet deployed systems still need to adapt to new domains.

I develop methods for source-free and black-box adaptation, domain-aware initialization and label calibration. These approaches are especially relevant in medical imaging, where scanner, hospital, device, and population shifts can sharply reduce model reliability.

Domain Adaptation and Generalization

Designing methods that adapt to target distributions or generalize to unseen environments while minimizing assumptions about source-domain access.

Source-Free and Black-Box Adaptation

Building deployment-aware algorithms for settings where source data, gradients, or model internals are inaccessible.

Medical Image Analysis

Applying robust learning to clinical tasks such as diabetic retinopathy grading, where subtle severity levels and domain shifts make reliability essential.
