Doumo(“Hey” in Japanese)!
Welcome to my personal page.
I am an independent ML researcher and a second-year MSc student at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University. I completed my degree in Computer Science at Al-Qalam University Katsina in 2023. My research focuses on causal representation learning and inductive biases — specifically, how incorporating causal structure into learned representations can improve robustness and out-of-distribution generalization, with applications in low-resource NLP and public health.
