Biography
Dr. Nauman Gilal is a Research Associate in the Arabic Language Technologies group at Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI). He received his PhD in 2024 from Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Doha, Qatar, in at topic computer vision with a focus on learning from noisy labels and imbalanced data. His doctoral research applied interdisciplinary knowledge to real-world problems across diverse domains, including food computing, and medical imaging (skin cancer and pathology).
At QCRI, he engages in developing AI-powered tools for pathology diagnostics and education, using large multimodal models (MLLMs) to analyze Whole Slide Images (WSIs). His work includes benchmarking and fine-tuning vision language models for healthcare applications and building web-based platforms for real-time image analysis and query capabilities.
His research interests focus on multimodal deep learning, medical imaging, and AI-driven tools aimed at advancing healthcare diagnostics and education.
