01 About

Building visual systems that learn from unlabeled data.

I'm an M.S. student in AI Engineering at CMU. Previously, I built computer-vision systems at Roll.ai, completed the Fatima Fellowship, and earned my B.S. in Computer Science in Pakistan.

I also lead Cohere Labs' Asia community and have hosted 50+ research sessions.

02 Research

Learning from raw experience.

  • 01 Self-Supervised Learning Robust visual representations that transfer across tasks and domains.
  • 02 World Models Models that understand environments, plan actions, and predict outcomes.
