Hafeez Khan

Welcome! I am a PhD student specializing in how foundation models adapt under distribution shift, addressing challenges in continual learning and few-shot learning. My advisor is Siddhartha Bhattacharyya, and I am funded by NASA, where I am working on lane detection for autonomous driving and taxiing on airports.

Previously, I completed my undergraduate studies at BITS Pilani Dubai, where I finished my thesis under the guidance of Raja Muthalaghu and received the Outstanding Undergraduate Thesis Award. Alongside my PhD, I have worked closely with mentors from Microsoft Research, NASA Langley, UTHealth Houston, Collins Aerospace. Through these collaborations, I have gained extensive experience especially in self-supervised models, diffusion models, and multimodal large-language models.

Reach out by email if our interests align and you wish to collaborate!

Also, I’m actively seeking an internship for Summer 2026—because models aren’t the only ones that need continual learning!!
