Hi, Welcome to my homepage!!!
I am a Senior Research Scientist at NVIDIA Research and part of the Machine Learning and Perception group headed by Jan Kautz. Prior to that, I completed my PhD in Computer Science (2014-2018) from the University of Bonn, Germany, under the supervision of Prof. Juergen Gall. I completed my M.Sc. degree in Information Technology (2011-2013) with majors in Image and Video Signal Processing from Tampere University of Technology (TUT), Finland. Alongside, I also worked at Nokia Research Center as an External Computer Vision Researcher. I completed my B.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering from COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Pakistan, and later also worked there as a Research Associate at the Computer Vision Research Group during 2010-2011.
