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 Research Division of Samsung before transitioning into academia in 2021 and joining MBZUAI as a Research Assistant under Dr. Mohammad Yaqub
Research Interests
I am interested in addressing the challenges faced by multi-modal AI systems across discriminative, generative, and perceptual understanding tasks, particularly when confronted with Out-Of-Distribution (OOD) scenarios.
