It seems like I've gotten your attention! Hey there! I'm Toluwani, your friendly neighborhood AI enthusiast. I build and write AI stuff sometimes. I am also a Machine Learning PhD Student at MBZUAI. When I'm not boring Prof. Abdulmotaleb El Saddik and Dr. Karthik Nandakumar with Machine Learning puzzles and thesis duties, I'm disturbing Prof. Kun Zhang on how to transfer our smartness and intelligence to these machines. My current focus is to outsmart sneaky vision models with adversarial attacks or crafting adversarial shields for VLMs. Before this, I worked on projects in the Responsible and Trustworthy AI domain, specifically, in privacy and fairness.
Here's a sneak peek at my tech toolbox: Python, PyTorch, C#, VB.Net, Visual ["Studio", "Studio Code"], GitHub. Yep, it's quite the ensemble! There's a lot more, but I don't want to show off.
When I unplug from the matrix, I dive into spirited debates about whether we're heading towards a tech utopia or just brewing the next batch of conspiracy theories. Philosophy? Love it. The meaning of life? Come here Aristotle! Let's chat over any game... I would say my gaming prowess is "uniquely charming." I'm also a fan of staying active, whether it's sports or gym sessions where I do nothing but lift my weary body through my fiery spirit.
Even with all my weirdness, music is my soul's language. I've got the softest spots for Country and Folk, and I love humorous songs. I strum, sing, and tinkle the ivories, adding my own soundtrack to life. Oh, and I've recently dabbled into photography – I wouldn't call myself talented, but I keep shooting at "nouns". Bad, or great shots... Both, I'll enjoy! I also love comedy, but that talent evades me, though you can find a little touch on my platforms.
Got a cool research idea or just want to muse about the future? Hit me up!
Thank you!
