About Me
I am currently a Research Associate at Mohamed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) and have recently obtained my Masters degree in machine learning from the same institution. At MBZUAI, I am affliated with the Intelligent Visual Analytics Lab (IVAL) where I am primarily advised by Dr. Salman Khan and have a close collaboration with Dr. Muzammal Naseer. My secondary advisor is Dr. Fahad Khan. I have also worked as a visiting student with Professor Peter Wonka at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST).
I received my undergraduate degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering with a minor in Computer Science from the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar, India. After graduation, I worked as a Machine Learning engineer at Harman International (Samsung) before transitioning into academia in 2021 and joining MBZUAI as a Research Assistant under Dr. Mohammad Yaqub
Research Interests
I am broadly interested in Multi-modal Generative and Discriminative learning in the realm of Label-efficiency with applications to problems in 1. Test-time out-of-distribution generalization, 2. Unifying generative and discriminative spaces. 3. World-centric evaluation of Multi-modal models and 4. Self-supervised learning.
