Mustafa Haiderbhai

Hello! I am fourth year PhD Student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Toronto advised by Prof. Lueder A. Kahrs. I am a part of the MedCVR Lab and CIGITI Lab at Sick Kids Hospital, where I research autonomous robotics, simulation, and computer vision for surgery.

I recently completed an ML Residency at (Google) X, the moonshot factory. Prior to my PhD, I was at the Metrics Lab at the University of Ottawa working under Prof. Pascal Fallavollita where I recieved my Bachelors and Masters degrees.
