Abrar Abir

… a Computer Science graduate (Fall ‘25) from Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar - with concentration in Security & Privacy.

In Spring ‘24, I took an NLP course which led to work on shared tasks (ArabicNLP ‘24 & CLEF ‘24). Following the path, I joined QNRF-funded collaboration with CMUQ & QU on Automated Essay Scoring for Arabic, contributing to a new dataset (EACL ‘26).

Since Summer ‘24, I have been developing a full-stack application for the Genomics Data Science Core at Sidra Medicine - which automates data extraction workflows and supports interactive access to genomic data & NGS metadata for both research & clinical workflows (SARF ‘26).

Among other things, my intellectual curiosity (currently) includes: bio-inspired ML architectures, AI for formal verification & mechanistic interpretability for LLMs.

In my downtime, I tinker with lettering or hang out in the arxiv.
