Hamza Shafiq
Senior Research Engineer, Ik Lab, Seoul, South Korea.

I am a Senior Research Engineer at IK Lab
, specializing in developing and maintaining deep learning algorithms
for a wide range of projects. My expertise spans computer vision, deep learning, NLP, and AI-based automation
, with extensive work in restoration and enhancement, super-resolution, generative AI,security applications, and AI-generated test cases
.
During my master’s, I worked on:
-
Restoration and colorization of old images
using adversarial networks. -
Dental image segmentation
for automated diagnostics.
Key Projects at IK Lab
-
AI for Security & Surveillance:
I developed a deep learning-based Vehicle Accident Investigation Reporting System, integrating Detection, Tracking, Segmentation, Restoration, and Text Recognition for hit-and-run detection, license plate recognition, and impact tracking. -
Turbulence Mitigation for Satellite Detection:
I designed algorithms to reduce turbulence effects and enhance satellite detection. -
Edge AI Optimization:
I worked on optimizing deep learning algorithms for edge devices using TensorRT and quantization techniques, enabling efficient inference on resource-constrained hardware. -
Damage Detection & Localization:
I applied deep learning to analyze aerial images, identifying the extent and location of damage for various applications. -
AI-Based Test Generation:
I leveraged Codex, CodeBERT, GPT, and LLaMA to generate test cases and compared them with traditional methods using BLEU/ROUGE scores, code coverage, and bug detection.
