Hanoona Rasheed is a computer vision researcher and PhD candidate at MBZUAI with six years of experience building interpretable, grounded multimodal models for image and video understanding. She has contributed to top-tier conferences (CVPR, NeurIPS, ECCV, ICCV, ICLR, ACL) and completed research internships at Meta and Adobe focused on scalable video data engines, spatio-temporal grounding, and long-video story reasoning. Her work emphasizes reducing textual drift and improving sustained attention to visual evidence, aiming for models that are both reliable and usable in real-world settings. Prior roles in robotics and signal processing (including Bosch and Unique World Robotics) give her a strong applied ML background across perception, chemometrics, and embedded systems. She combines deep research rigor with practical system-building experience, having delivered publications tied to production-scale data engineering efforts. Based in the UAE, she blends academic excellence with industry-focused impact on multimodal AI.
