Abdalgader Abubaker
Welcome to my webpage!I am a Senior AI Engineer at Technology Innovation Institute (TII), where I contribute to cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence—particularly focused on building, pretraining, and post-training large language models (LLMs) with an emphasis on reasoning capabilities. Prior to TII, I was part of the founding engineering team at Kera Health Platform, a health-tech startup leveraging AI for innovation. Previously, I was an AI resident at Meta AI, in particular member of the Modern Recommendation System team under supervision of Dr. Vassilis Plachouras, also I worked as ML research associate at LIVIA, École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS) and interned at Mila-Quebec AI Institute under the supervision of Prof. Samira Ebrahimi Kahou as my main MSc-thesis adviser and fund from Prof. Doina Precup. In addition to my industry and research roles, I’m an affiliated lecturer at the Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Khartoum.
My research interests span generative AI, machine learning theory, and the development of intelligent systems—with a current focus on large language models (LLMs), particularly enhancing their reasoning capabilities. Previously, my work centered on graph machine learning and its applications, especially self-supervised learning to graph-structured data via Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) architectures.
