About Me
I am a PhD researcher at the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), specializing in video understanding, multimodal learning, and large multimodal models (LMMs). I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Fahad Khan and Dr. Salman Khan.
My research explores composed video retrieval, open-world video instance segmentation, multimodal reasoning, and self-evolving agentic systems. I am driven by the goal of designing AI systems that can reason, adapt, and generalize beyond closed-world assumptions.
