Research

My research interests lie at the intersection of art history, cultural heritage, information science, and technology. Drawing from my background in art history and museum studies, I am exploring questions around AI ethics, accessibility, and inclusive design—particularly how digital technologies can make visual and multimedia cultural materials more accessible to diverse audiences.

Current Projects
