Abdullah Hashmat

I am an AI researcher and Computer Science graduate focused on the intersection of Machine Learning, Scientific AI, and Computational Biology. My research experience includes LLMs, speech technologies for low-resource languages, benchmark development, molecular property prediction, and generative models for drug discovery.

Currently, I am a Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS) in Kaiserslautern, Germany, exploring Agentic Systems and Scientific AI. Previously, at DFKI, I worked on bioinformatics and state-space modeling techniques for molecular representation learning.

I am driven by the goal of leveraging AI to advance science, healthcare, and multilingual technologies. For my final year thesis, I created PakBBQ, a bias benchmarking QA dataset with 17,180 Urdu/English examples across 8 sociocultural categories. I evaluated 6 multilingual LLMs, revealing cross-linguistic bias gaps and effective bias mitigation strategies. This work culminated in a paper accepted at EMNLP 2025 main conference (Core: A*).
