About me

Hi, I’m Adib Hasan, a research engineer at a stealth startup, where I build large-scale retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems for financial data. I am interested in robustness under distribution shift.

I completed my bachelors (Math & EECS) and MEng (EECS) from MIT, where I was advised by Dr. Mardavij Roozbehani and Prof. Munther Dahleh. During that time, I developed a novel variational pretraining framework for weather time series, and a pruning based jailbreak defense for LLMs.

In between my bachelor’s and master’s, I spent two years as a quant researcher managing multi-million dollar crypto portfolios and leading a team of four. You can find more on my LinkedIn.

Beyond work, I do have some hobbies. I cook passionately to avoid starvation (proof), read dead philosophers, and lift heavy objects to maintain the illusion of control.
