M.S. Computer Science | Xinjiang University, China | Visual Anomaly Detection | PEFT | Foundation Models
I'm a Pakistani CS researcher based in Ürümqi, China, doing my master's at Xinjiang University. My research is in visual anomaly detection, teaching models to spot defects and anomalies in images across industrial, logical, and medical domains.
Right now I'm working on combining continual learning and parameter-efficient fine-tuning (LoRA, adapters, visual prompts) on vision foundation models like DINOv2 and CLIP. The goal is to make models that can keep adapting to new domains without forgetting what they already know.
Before the master's I fine-tuned BERT for production NLP at Bytewise and built an end-to-end AI platform as my final year project which got me a 4.0/4.0 for it, which I'm still pretty happy about.
