Hello, I'm

Hassaan Muhammad Khan,
an AI & Machine Learning
Researcher from Pakistan!

About Me.

I recently graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering from NUST (June 2025) being top 3 of my batch, with a major in Artificial Intelligence. Over the last three years , I’ve had the chance to work on some amazing projects, collaborating with student teams and with incredible researchers at places like Additech-Sim and the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence.

My current research focus lies in making LLMs better and safer, specifically focusing on multilingual and multimodal foundation models. I'm always on the lookout for new research collaborations. If you're interested in working together to make a positive impact, please feel free to reach out!

Some Recent Works.

This project was done in collaboration with MBZUAI, as a research intern under professor Zhiqiang Shen. This research empowers the small language models to perform contextually well through knowledge distillation from a subsequently larger language model. Check out the detailed evaluation on different benchmarks getting upto 27% increase in accuracy. Project Link.

As the name suggests, this state of the art robot uses Lidar technology to map the area and navigate autonomously within it. Fun-fact: This robot has a fine-tuned LLM deployed on server that helps it to interact along with RAG pipeline. Check out more on the github repo: Project Link.

This research was done during my time at Additech-Sim and is one of the various industrial research projects completed. The research focuses on improving existing pressure values within a certain boundary conditions through a custom stable-baseline3 RL environment. Pretrained and optimized supervised learning model was used for inference. Check out more on the link: Project Link.

This project was done as a part of DOAZ, to analyze Basic RAG, Corrective RAG and Graph RAG, using end to end langchain and Neo4j implementation. 5 Pdfs were used to create FAISS vector DB using large embedding model from openai which was used for RAG and CRAG. GraphRAG used knowledge graph saved on server and cypherquery through neo4j for efficient retrieval. Detailed comparision saved on excel sheets. Project Link.

The project makes use of pretrained VIT Transformer fine-tuned on FER and AffectNet datasets for facial emotion recognition. CNN was also trained with different variations of epochs on same datasets and analysis was done based on validation accuracy as highlighted in the repository, do check it out! Project Link.

Our project, conducted under Dr. Zhiqiang Shen during UGRIP at MBZUAI, was titled as "Optimizing Prompts for Foundation Models" to reduce hallucination. We curated a benchmark dataset of 25k questions across ~60 topics like engineering, philosophy, and history. Additionally, we developed a web application to collect human preferences and assess the correctness of responses before and after applying 26 guiding principles from VILA LAB. This preference data is crucial for future preference-based optimization techniques, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of AI-generated responses Project Link.

Beyond the Code: My Extracurriculars

Chancellor's Silver Medal - Second Highest CGPA

Chancellor's Silver Medal · Electrical Engineering

Awarded the Chancellor's Silver Medal for achieving the second highest CGPA in the batch (2021–2025), B.E. Electrical Engineering. The medal was presented at the convocation on December 19th, 2025, a milestone that reflects years of consistent dedication and academic excellence.

DOAZ team meetup and workshop, Islamabad

DOAZ Team Meetup & Workshop · Islamabad

In October 2025, I traveled to Islamabad for the DOAZ team meetup and workshop. It was an incredible experience meeting CEO Youngtae Kim and the entire team in person, learning, and collaborating after working together remotely.

39th IEEEP Multi-Topic International Symposium 2025

39th IEEEP Multi-Topic International Symposium 2025

We participated as an FYP group from NUST with our project on multimodal perception for 3D mapping with camera and LiDAR fusion. Shortlisted from Karachi among 50+ teams, we won the gold medal for best presentation and research methodology. Symposium details.

Undergraduate Research Internship

Research Internship at MBZUAI

Last year in June 2024, I had a memorable internship experience at MBZUAI as a Undergrad research intern, in there global program. Being the only pakistani in the program, I now have have friends from 20+ nationalities. Fun fact: Everything was totally funded from air fares to dorm to exciting trips like ferari world!!! Check out my linkedin post for the guide to prepare for it: Post Link.

Teknofest-2023, Turkiye

Teknofest 2023, Istanbul, Turkiye

I was the part of Teknofest 2023, an international unammed aerial vehicle competition. We as a student society "NUST Airworks", represented Pakistan globally being the only pakistani team and secured the performance award!! based on our VTOL aircraft flight! You can check we are featured on their website : Web-Link.

Project Agahi: A platform to encourage online certifications

Project Agahi (Volunteer)

Our team had the privilege of organizing the very first physical workshop, officially kickstarting our community development initiative. The session was very helpful, with students delving into the path of e-learning and discovering how to harness their skills for personal growth. The students were also motivated to dream big and elevate their academic profile to help get into Top Universities like Ivy Leagues.

The Citizen Foundation volunteering

The Citizens Foundation (Volunteer)

TCF summer camp 2023 was really something I cherish. Here, I dedicated time to teaching English and Theatre to underprivileged students, creating an engaging learning environment by composing and conducting fun, educational activities tailored to students of various ages.
