My name is Kirill, and I am currently a Research Associate for AI at G42 Healthcare, a global tech-enabled healthcare company. I obtained MSc in Computer Vision at MBZUAI, where I worked in the Center of Integrative Intelligence (CIAI) with Dr. Zhiqiang Shen and Prof. Eric Xing. During my time at MBZUAI I was also fortunate to work with Dr. Zhuang Liu from Meta AI Research. My research interests primarily focus on deep learning, computer vision and foundation models. Before joining MBZUAI, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from St.Petersburg Polytechnic University and worked at Soter Analytics as Data Scientist where I helped to develop ergonomic solutions and wearable devices.

Aside from my academic pursuits, I sometimes participate in different machine competitions and achieved rank of a Kaggle Competition Master.
