🧐 About Me

Hi there! I am a second year PhD. candidate in Computer Vision at the Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) under the supervision of Dr. Mohammad Yaqub at BioMedia Lab. I completed my MS in Machine Learning at MBZUAI under the supervision of Dr. Karthik Nandakumar and Dr. Mohammad Yaqub.

Research Interests: I am interested in AI-for-Healthcare and aim to build AI applications that are safe, robust, and deployable for downstream medical tasks. My work bridges model-centric and data-centric approaches to ensure generalizability and trust in clinical environments. Specifically:

• Efficiency: Unsupervised Adaptation, Distillation
• Trustworthiness: Adversarial Training, Test-Time Adaptation
• Domain Generalization: Model Merging, Zero-shot Generalization
• Current Focus: Robust Dermatology VLMs, LLM Merging

🤔 I’m currently involved in 3 main projects: Test-time merging on Med-LLMs, A survey on Unsupervised Functions, Low-shot generalization of Dermatology-VLM. Please feel free to contact at raza dot imam at mbzuai dot ac dot ae for collaboration.
