About
Hi! I'm Kiana - an AI researcher and developer working on computer vision, saliency, and generative models. I hold a B.Sc. from IUST and recently defended my M.Sc. at the University of Tehran. I collaborate with the Machine Learning & Computational Modeling Lab and build real-world AI systems at AVIR AI.
My research focuses on visual attention modeling, multimodal learning, and human-computer interaction. I'm always happy to discuss research ideas and collaborations.
