Human-Centred AI Researcher | Multimodal systems for accessible communication

I am a researcher and developer working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and accessibility technologies. My projects include developing systems for automatic translation from Makaton (a sign and symbol language) to English, applying computer vision for communication support, and exploring AI applications in education. I am passionate about leveraging technology to break barriers, empower underserved communities, and create tools with real-world impact. I also actively contribute to academic research, peer review, and conference presentations.
