About me....
Hi! I'm Mustafa, a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Iowa State University, advised by Dr. Adarsh Krishnamurthy and Dr. Aditya Balu. I work with Dr. Adarsh in the Idea Lab, and I also collaborate closely with Dr. Chinmay and Dr. Zanhong. My research focuses on developing innovative approaches to Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) for high-quality 3D scene reconstruction, emphasizing advanced segmentation techniques and self-supervised learning methods.
I'm currently working on LLM-to-CAD model generation—building systems that translate natural language (and sketches) into editable, parametric CAD models with feature histories, constraints, and B-Rep/STEP outputs. This line of work led to CRAFT, a corrective multi-agent framework for text-to-parametric CAD, accepted at ICLAD 2026. I'm now extending it with VISTA-CAD, which iteratively refines parametric CAD programs using visual feedback (manuscript in preparation). Beyond research, I actively enhance my coding and problem-solving skills through LeetCode and various programming challenges.
I believe in continuously learning something new every day, balancing hard work with fun and creativity along the way.
