Biography
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia, specializing in Generative AI. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Computer Vision and Deep Learning from Linköping University, Sweden under the supervision of Prof. Michael Felsberg and Prof. Fahad Shahbaz Khan.
I have 11 years of diverse interdisciplinary experience through academic and industrial roles across Sweden, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.
