Graduate researcher exploring AI, human-computer interaction, and psychology at University of Guelph
Hi there! I'm Zayn Abbas, a Computer Science Master's student at the University of Guelph, where I'm exploring the fascinating intersection of emotion detection and human-computer interaction.
With a passion for UI/UX design and a knack for creating intuitive digital experiences, I transform complex problems into elegant solutions that users love.
When I'm not coding or designing, you'll find me building model airplanes and cars, diving into gaming adventures, or exploring new music - all of which fuel my creative approach to problem-solving.
