About Me
CV: PDF
My name is Sabrina Mokhtari. I am a Master’s student at University of Waterloo, working under the supervision of Prof. Gautam Kamath. Previously, I was a Computer Engineering student at Sharif University of Technology, Where I worked as an undergrad research assistant on improving the robustness of vision transformers under the supervision of Prof. Mohammad Hossein Rohban. Before that, I worked as a data engineer at Wizeanalytics Startup, where I was part of the Machine Learning team and worked on an AI-driven big data processing platform that establishes methods on the data storage layer and distributed big data processing to facilitate predictive analytics. My research interests are computer vision, privacy in machine learning, and robustness.
Experience
Robust and Interpretable Deep Learning Laboratory
Research Assistant
June 2021 - September 2022

I joined the Robust and Interpretable Deep Learning Laboratory to work on my bachelor’s thesis under the supervision of Prof. Mohammad Hossein Rohban, where I worked on various techniques to train trustworthy vision transformers that are robust against adversarial attacks and that are not readily affected by malicious perturbations.
Wizeanalytics works on designing an AI-driven big data processing platform that establishes methods on the data storage layer and distributed big data processing to facilitate predictive analytics. I joined Wizeanalytics Startup as an intern and primarily worked on BI systems. During my internship I worked on big data processing systems such as Apache Kafka and enabled our platform to work with and analyze real-time data streaming by connecting the system to Apache Kafka. After my internship, I joined the Machine Learning team and helped design and implement a comprehensive preprocessing pipeline. To that end, I developed several text processing features such as text spell correction, text normalization, and string obfuscation.
