Welcome! My name is Solaiman. I am a full time faculty member and a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). My research expertise revolve around multimodal data management and uncertainty management in real-world AI systems using Machine Learning. I earned my Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Computer Science from Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, under the supervision of Prof. Bharat Bhargava.
During my time at Purdue, I worked on the REALM project funded by NGC and the SAIL-ON project funded by DARPA. I worked closely with Prof. Michael Stonebraker for the REALM/SKOD project and contributed in scalable Multimodal Information Retrieval and Video and Text Feature Extraction. I also served as a faculty member at Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST) and United International University (UIU) from 2014 to 2016.
My research intersects with machine learning, multimodal information retrieval, open-world learning, and data management systems. I built systems and techniques to enable scalable and robust multimodal data processing in open-world environment, while working with practical applications and end users. Additionally, I also focused on acquiring fundamental insights that facilitate dependable open-world learning, which can operate securely and flexibly in the presence of dynamic and unforeseen data streams. My work has appeared in top machine learning and database conferences and journals such as IEEE Computer, Artificial Intelligence, VLDB, SIGMOD, AAAI, and IEEE TransAI. I have collaborated with multiple industry and academic partners such as WLPD, USC-ISI, IDA, METU, MIT, NGC, USC, and DARPA.
UPDATE: I am currently applying for tenure-track faculty positions in the US and abroad. Please contact me at ksolaima@purdue.edu if you are hiring this cycle.
