HAMDAN / 2026I'm an Artificial Intelligence undergraduate at NUST, focused on building intelligent systems that can perceive, learn, reason, and act.
My interests include:
I learn best by building, experimenting, and turning ideas into working systems. My goal is to develop practical, capable, and increasingly autonomous intelligent systems that can solve real-world problems.
Start with the environment, not the algorithm.
Choose baselines and metrics people can inspect.
Move from notebook to a system that can respond.
Detection, segmentation, visual inspection, and the discipline of working with imperfect images.
Multimodal modelling, evaluation, medical imaging, and interpretable baselines.
ROS2, mapping, controls, sensor fusion, and systems that have to act in real time.

A two-model system combining a ResNet U-Net for multi-class brain tumor segmentation with a conditional diffusion model that synthesizes 4-modality MRI scans from masks. Led as a two-person project and trained on TPU.
A real-time gesture-recognition pipeline controlling a DJI Tello in flight. Built on a self-collected dataset of 5,000+ hand-landmark samples, a feature-engineered classifier, and temporal smoothing for reliable control.
An MPU6050-driven glove that maps hand orientation to real-time servo control on a 4-DOF robotic arm — connecting embedded sensing directly to actuation.
An open-source video-based detection pipeline across 52 animal classes, combining RT-DETR and YOLO through a mixture-of-experts approach for robust performance across varied conditions.
A LAN chat and file-transfer application in C++ with a Qt GUI, custom asynchronous UDP transport, peer auto-discovery, and chunked file transfer.
An open-source conversational agricultural AI combining dual foundation models (fine-tuned Llama 3.2 3B and Llama 3.1 8B), multi-stage RAG, live web search, and an LLM router engineered specifically to prevent hallucinations and false guidance.
Practical engineering and research internships focused on robotics, machine learning, data science, and applied systems.
