Hi! I'm Adnan. I currently work at IBM Research as a Research Engineer in the Data for AI team. I work on self-improving retrieval systems and explore how the systems around a model can help it work better.

Beyond my core role, I'm interested in building long-horizon agents, with a particular focus on making good data and creating meaningful metrics to measure their progress. I also enjoy probing frontier models to understand their limits and identifying the specific gaps where their reasoning or reliability starts to drop off.

In the past, I worked on designing evals for multimodal understanding and robustness. I also spent some time researching LLM jailbreaking and security.

I'm always open to discussing research, new opportunities, or just exchanging ideas. Feel free to reach out!
