My research focuses on Video-Language Models, with three main directions:

  • Robust Temporal Reasoning: Learning temporal dynamics from video beyond static visual cues and language priors.
  • Efficient Long-Context Modeling: Adapting image-language models to video and retaining long-term visual context under limited memory and computation.
  • Mechanistic Interpretability: Understanding how video-language models process and use visual information, and using these insights to improve model behavior.
