Research across Aberdeen and Kathmandu

I lead the Multimodal Learning Lab, a joint research group of the University of Aberdeen and the Nepal Applied Mathematics and Informatics Institute for Research (NAAMII), Kathmandu. We develop reliable multimodal learning for clinical and industrial environments where labelled data, access to modalities and computational resources are constrained.

Doctoral supervision and research training

The group brings together clinical and computer science PhD researchers, an MSc by Research student and research assistants at NAAMII. Projects connect surgical perception, hallucination detection, federated learning, edge AI and low-resource language models. The researchers and their project areas are listed below.

Our training pathway links participation in research projects with publication and progression to graduate study and research careers. Former members and mentees have progressed to institutions including MILA, Dartmouth, Stanford, Inria and universities across Europe and North America, as well as research roles in industry. Their individual pathways are recorded below.

Clinical collaboration and open research

We build datasets and benchmarks with clinical collaborators and treat these resources as research contributions. The group’s work connects methodological development with evaluation in the environments where reliable predictions matter.
