Ph.D. Candidate | AI for Accessibility | INOVISUP Project Researcher

I am a research-oriented Ph.D. student working on “Transforming Visual Content to Enhance Accessibility of Illustrations for Students with Visual Impairments”. My research focuses on creating innovative solutions to make visual information accessible to visually impaired students using AI, computer vision, deep learning, and multimodal interaction. The title of my Ph.D. is Diagram Analysis for Visually Impaired Readers. My thesis is part of the INOVISUP project, focused on non-visual reading of diagrams and accessibility in higher education.
