AI Perception Lab
Engineering adaptive AI perception through human-machine-environment synthesis—enabling ethical autonomy in intelligent infrastructures and human-machine collaboration.
About the Lab
Redefining research through open exploration and collaborative innovation
The Problem
Closed Doors, Narrow Paths
Traditional research labs often exclude students through rigid admissions, hyper-specialized focuses, and opaque selection criteria—leaving many unsure how to begin or pivot.
Our Solution
Open Exploration
Your research, your trajectory—join anytime and contribute to meaningful innovation.
Mentorship
Guidance Tailored to You
Accessible Experts

Skill Development
Gain expertise through collaborative coding standards and hands-on learning
Structured Autonomy
Progress through collaboration
Your journey follows a tiered roadmap, exposing you to the full research lifecycle:
Research Projects
Advancing AI perception through innovative research initiatives
CausalVision
Advancing semantic segmentation through causal inference and knowledge graphs to improve interpretability and robustness in image understanding, moving beyond correlation to model object interactions and contextual dependencies.
Adaptive NLP
Developing uncertainty-aware dialogue systems using probabilistic modeling and knowledge graphs to enable adaptive, context-sensitive conversations that reconcile ambiguity with user-specific needs.
