Biography
I am a PhD student at MIT advised by Prof. Marzyeh Ghassemi. I obtained my BS from Cornell University. During my MS at KAUST, I conducted research in computer vision under the guidance of Prof. Bernard Ghanem. I have also closely collaborated with with Dr. Adel Bibi and Prof. Philip Torr from Oxford.
My research advances the reasoning and multimodal understanding capabilities of large language and vision-language models, with a focus on how these models process negation, handle uncertainty, and generalize across diverse real-world settings.
My research has been featured by MIT News, MIT CSAIL, and New Scientist.
