I'm a PhD student in Generative AI at KAUST, advised by Prof. Peter Wonka. My research spans generative AI, computer vision, and geometric reasoning.

Before my PhD, I spent four years in industrial R&D — numerical optimization at Huawei, and large-scale machine learning systems and high-performance C++ software at X5 and Yandex.
