Welcome to my homepage! I am a Research Manager at NVIDIA Research, where I lead the Digital Human AI Research (DAIR) team. My work focuses on improving the entire digital human creation process, including capture, modeling, synthesis, and animation, with an emphasis on both appearance and dynamic characteristics. I earned my PhD in Computer Science (2014-2018) from the University of Bonn, Germany, under the guidance of Prof. Juergen Gall. Prior to that, I completed my masters (2011-2013) in Finland and undergrad (2006-2010) in Pakistan. I developed my passion for computer vision and machine learning in 2009 during my undergrad thesis on vehicle make and model recognition and have been in love with the field ever since. Now I mostly work at the intersection of computer vision, graphics, and machine learning, with a particular emphasis on 3D digital humans.
I am hiring multiple Full-time Research Scientists to join the team. Apply here.
