Research & Publications

Design and Assessment of a Novel In Silico Approach for Developing a Next-Generation Multi-Epitope Universal Vaccine Targeting Coronaviruses.
Rasheed MA, Raza S, Alonazi WB, Ashraf MA, Navid MT, Aslam I, Iqbal MN, Rahman SU, Riaz MI.
Microorganisms 2023, 11(9):2282 · Impact Factor 4.5 · DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11092282
Contribution: experimentation and data generation; manuscript drafting and revision.
MS Thesis, Fabric Defect Detection using Deep Learning (COMSATS University Islamabad, July 2023)
Supervisor: Dr. Muhammad Shoaib. Built a synthetic dataset generator producing 100,000 labelled images across 10 defect classes, then trained a custom CNN achieving above 98% accuracy, outperforming SVM, Random Forest and a baseline CNN.

Research interests: computer vision and anomaly detection · generative data synthesis · large language models and retrieval-augmented generation · generative 3D and automated cinematography · single-view 3D reconstruction · building performance simulation and multi-objective design optimisation · multi-agent LLM systems · efficient AI for low-resource hardware.

Selected Projects

BitWithBite AVS, AI Virtual Production Studio
Offline AI production pipeline on Blender + Python. Prompt → script → casting → scene graph → cinematography → neural voiceover → headless render → edit, subtitle, score → multi-format export. 39 modules, 29 films produced, $0 API cost, CPU-only.
Python · Blender (bpy) · Ollama · Streamlit · FFmpeg · Piper TTS
BitWithBite AI Assistant, production RAG system
Retrieval-augmented support agent that crawls the site nightly, processes PDFs and markdown, retrieves via FAISS vector search and answers with source citations. Runs entirely on local models.
Python · FastAPI · LangChain · FAISS · Ollama · Docker
AI Resume Analyzer & Career Coach
Parses PDF/DOCX resumes, extracts 300+ technical skills, runs ATS compatibility checks and semantic scoring, then generates cover letters, learning roadmaps and interview preparation via local LLMs.
Python · FastAPI · spaCy · sentence-transformers · Ollama
Coding Challenges, Judge & Interview Prep Platform
Gamified Python practice platform with a real server-side judge that runs submissions against test cases under a hard-enforced execution timeout and a code-safety pre-check, a step-through debugger that traces real interpreter execution, an AI code reviewer, a skill tree, career roadmaps and mock interviews.

AI-CAD, Sketch-to-Energy Building Design System
A seven-stage pipeline that takes a hand-drawn building sketch and returns a simulated building. It retrieves similar CAD drawings, estimates depth, reconstructs the form in 3D, voxelises it into a storey-by-storey model, writes an EnergyPlus thermal model and ranks the options on a Pareto front. 54 modules with a 28-check test suite. Each stage has a research backend and a dependency-free fallback, so it runs on any machine. On a 288-image, 12-category benchmark it scores 0.934 Precision@1 and 0.613 mAP, and carries five sketches end to end in 2.6 seconds each on CPU. Mesh validation caught and repaired broken geometry in 3 of those 5 reconstructions. The same building evaluated across five climates ranges from 64 to 123 kWh/m²·yr.

Fine Crack Detection, U-Net Segmentation
Pixel-level segmentation of hairline cracks for structural inspection. Trained from scratch on a synthetic labelled dataset; achieved 0.785 Dice / 0.658 IoU / 0.858 recall on a held-out test split, trained entirely on CPU in 36 minutes.
Python · PyTorch · U-Net · BCE+Dice loss · Semantic segmentation
Real-Time Vehicle Detection & Tracking
Classical CV pipeline, MOG2 background subtraction with contour filtering and a Euclidean-distance multi-object ID tracker. Processed 900 frames of 1280×720 traffic footage at 30fps with no training and no GPU.
Python · OpenCV · Background subtraction · Multi-object tracking
Competitor Pricing Intelligence Dashboard
Live e-commerce price scraping across 29 product categories with Pandas processing, six interactive Plotly views, a Value Score ranking system, auto-generated insights and CSV/Excel export.
Python · Streamlit · BeautifulSoup · Pandas · Plotly
COVID-19 Analytics & Forecasting Dashboard
Dynamic KPIs, Prophet-based forecasting, vaccination tracking and RSS news sentiment analysis with country comparison and export.
Python · Streamlit · Prophet · VADER · Plotly
