Mahdiyar Molahasani

I am an ML Research Scientist at Captura (since June 2025), developing cutting-edge, efficient ML solutions for the photography industry. I recently completed my Ph.D. at Ingenuity Labs, Queen's University, where my research focused on continual learning, federated learning, and domain generalization. I received my M.Sc. from the University of Saskatchewan in 2021, where I worked on super-resolution, automated diagnosis, and Capsule GANs.
