Sadaf Shafi

As an engineer with a comprehensive understanding of technology, I have gained a wide range of experience in fields such as IoT, software engineering, AI/ML, blockchain and DeFi, and research. My versatility as a "jack of all trades" allows me to approach problems from multiple angles. I am currently working on my fifth paper, which explores ways to use AI systems with small datasets.

My research has focused on topics such as hyperparameters in AI and the use of AI in small and imbalanced datasets, as well as the application of AI in fields like computational chemistry and smart contracts. Despite the challenges I faced while studying in Kashmir during a time of conflict and pandemic, I have developed strong self-discipline and the ability to learn independently.

I am passionate about using AI in social sciences, particularly in psychology and language modelling. I also enjoy creating simple products that have the potential to reach a wide audience. In my free time, I enjoy reading classical literature, particularly Russian works by Tolstoy and Dostoevsky and am an amateur philosopher with an existentialist perspective. Additionally, I am a polyglot and fluent in multiple languages.

While I am a nerd at heart, I also enjoy staying active and excelling at the gym as an athlete. I have been actively lifting for 7 years and did some Karate for almost 3 years prior to that and now I am slowly shifting towards calesthenics from body building .
