My research focuses on evaluating and developing methods of mechanistic interpretability to detect, quantify and mitigate biases within Vision-Language Models.
I am in my first year of PhD, supervised by Radu Timofte at the JMU Würzburg, working closely with the Media Bias Group in-person at NII Tokyo, invited here by Prof. Echizen-sensei.
I’ve extensive teaching experience - taught Computer Architectures course at the CTU Prague university, taught robotics course at a Grammar School, years of high-school robotic workshops teaching for the National Library of Technology in Prague, years of teaching preparatory programming Bootcamp for newly admitted students at the FEE CTU. I have also worked as a research fellow in various labs since my first year of studies and after my first year I’ve delivered a conference talk about my first project.
