Ahnaf An Nafee
PhD Student in AI & 3D Graphics @ GMU | Building Immersive Worlds through Machine Learning & Computer Graphics | Ex-CTO
I operate at the intersection of two fascinating domains:
- • AI 🧠 (Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision)
- • 3D Computer Graphics 🌐 (Rendering, Shaders, Real-time Graphics)
As a Computer Science PhD student at George Mason University, my research is driven by a central ambition: to build the next generation of intuitive and immersive ways for humans to interact with digital worlds.
But I'm not just a theorist. My journey into deep research began after my time as a co-founder and CTO of a tech startup. There, I led teams in building, launching, and scaling complex products from the ground up. That experience taught me a critical lesson: the most brilliant AI models are only as good as the infrastructure they run on. It gave me a deep, practical expertise in creating robust, production-ready systems.
This unique background allows me to bridge the critical gap 🔗 between theory and practice. I don't just design novel AI and graphics concepts; I understand how to deploy and scale them efficiently using modern DevOps principles.
My core areas of expertise include:
- 🧠 AI & Machine Learning: Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Generative AI, Neural Networks
- 🌐 3D Computer Graphics: Real-time Rendering, Shaders, Graphics Pipelines, Game Engines
- 📈 Leadership: Technical Product Leadership, Research & Development, Team Building
I'm always eager to connect with fellow researchers, industry pioneers, and anyone passionate about building the future of interactive technology. Let's explore what's next, together! 🤝
