Toqi Tahamid Sarker
I'm Toqi Tahamid Sarker, a PhD candidate in computer science at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, where I work with Dr. Khaled R. Ahmed at the BASE Lab.
I am mostly interested in computer vision and deep learning for animal science, ecology, and agriculture, focusing on small, efficient models and on predictions that report how far they can be trusted. My work spans optical gas imaging of methane emissions from cattle, distance estimation with prediction intervals for trail-camera wildlife surveys, and weed segmentation and growth stage classification. My current work develops grounded vision-language models that segment gas plumes and estimate their concentration.
