About

I am a machine learning scientist and  on the PhD track at the University of Alberta, exploring the intersection of AI and neuroscience to uncover visuo-linguistic patterns in mental health disorders.

I hold a master’s in Mathematical Sciences with a specialization in Machine Learning from AMMI and a bachelor’s in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of Khartoum.

My professional journey includes roles such as Applied Scientist at NTWIST, where I help enterprises leverage machine learning to automate business processes in the manufacturing industry. I focus on both process manufacturing and discrete manufacturing, utilizing self-supervised learning and reinforcement learning (RL). Previously, I contributed to deep learning research at MILA and interned at Brown University’s Robotics Lab, with work recognized at NeurIPS and ICML workshops.
