This project aims to develop new high-performance materials that can operate reliably in extreme environments, such as jet engines, nuclear reactors, and the automotive industry. Many modern technologies rely on piezoelectric and ferroelectric materials, which convert mechanical energy into electrical energy and vice versa. However, most of today’s materials lose performance at high temperatures, limiting […]

Compositionality — the ability to understand new combinations of familiar parts — is a core aspect of human cognition and reasoning, but current vision-language models such as CLIP still struggle with it. These limitations reduce the reliability of systems that must correctly interpret objects, attributes, and relations in real-world scenarios. Although many methods have been […]
