Rafid Ahmed
I am Rafid Ahmed, currently working as an R&D Engineer at Penta Global Limited. My primary research interests lie in natural language processing, multimodal AI and large language/vision-language models. I am particularly motivated to explore low-resource learning, the application of LLMs in the medical domain, parameter-efficient fine-tuning techniques for downstream tasks and Reinforcement Learning. I am especially interested in how these approaches can enhance the reasoning capabilities and explainability of both VLMs and LLMs.
I am actively looking for graduate opportunities to further contribute to research in NLP, LLM, MLLM, RL and medical AI, aiming to collaborate with forward-thinking teams and push the boundaries of intelligent, inclusive and impactful AI systems.If you are interested in working with me or discussing potential collaborations, please feel free to connect.
