Dr. Muhammad Muzammal Naseer is an Assistant Professor in the computer science department of the College of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Khalifa University. He also serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the School of Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Western Australia. He received his Ph.D. in Engineering and Computer Science from the Australian National University. Prior to his current roles, he worked as a researcher at Data61, CSIRO, the Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence, and Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence.
Dr. Naseer is interested in building robust intelligent systems. His research focuses on robust visual-spatial and temporal perception, understanding and explaining AI behavior through adversarial machine learning, representation learning through self-learning approaches including self-supervision, self-distillation, self-critique, and self-reflection, and configuring the role of large language models in understanding the physical world. His research interests include multi-modal large language models, vision-language models, adversarial machine learning, self-learning in AI, and AI agents. He teaches courses on large language models, machine learning, and deep learning. He is named in the list of the world’s top 2% scientists for single-year impact in 2023 according to the Stanford/Elsevier ranking.
