The VIDAL Lab develops the mathematical and algorithmic foundations of modern AI — with a sustained emphasis on trustworthy systems and real-world impact. Our research philosophy combines principled theory, scalable algorithms, and deployment in collaboration with clinicians, scientists, and engineers.
Deep learning theory, trustworthy AI, generative models, parsimonious representations, continual learning, and optimization.
Vision–language models, human motion understanding, video analysis, image analysis, and geometric 3D vision.
Methods for analyzing and learning linear, hybrid and multi-agent systems — from theory to deployment on physical platforms.
Translating advances in AI into clinical systems for radiology, cardiology, neurology, hematology, and surgery.
