Hossein Shakibania
I'm an MS student in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at Technical University of Darmstadt and a student research assistant at Multimodal AI Lab, led by Prof. Marcus Rohrbach and Prof. Anna Rohrbach. I completed my BS in Computer Engineering in 2024 at Bu-Ali Sina University.
I'm interested in multimodal generative models and their personalization, with the goal of making visual content creation more controllable, creative, and expressive.
Feel free to reach out. I'm open to collaborations!
