About You
I am a PhD student in Machine Learning at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), Abu Dhabi, with a research focus on applying machine learning to materials science and quantum-informed modeling. I am a member of the Materials Science Research group under the supervision of Prof. Martin Takáč (see his personal page at mtakac.com and the MBZUAI faculty page). Our research explores several physics-informed and data-driven approaches for predicting physical properties of molecules and crystalline materials. Selected demos and examples of our work are available on the Materials Science Research page of this website. Previously, I worked as an engineer at the NURIS Fab Lab, where I mentored students and early-stage startups, supporting the development of hardware and AI-driven prototypes. My journey into machine learning began with a health data research project supported by Prof. Amin Zollanvari and Prof. Abduzhappar Gaipov at the Nazarbayev University School of Medicine (NUSOM). You can read our paper in Nature. I was also a visiting scholar at Texas A&M University, where I developed physics-informed neural networks under the supervision of Prof. Ulisses Braga-Neto. This research visit was supported by a Shakhmardan Yessenov Foundation Fellowship.
Motivation to join Community
I want to help develop KZ community and provide mentorship for young researchers. I hope I will be beneficial for this community.
