I am a research associate at MBZUAI (among top 20 AI research institutes).
Previously, I was
- RA at Sony AI, Japan
- RA at AI Theory Group of Huawei's Noah Ark Lab in Hong Kong
- Ph.D. Student and RA at MLVC Lab in South Korea
- RA at SPIDER Lab and a TA for five grad and undergrad courses, including machine learning at ITU
I have published my research in top venues, including NeurIPS, ICCV, and TNNLS. And I have served as a reviewer in CVPR, ICLR, ICCV and NeurIPS. I also won 📊a national-level ml competition, ✈️ a travel grant to attend AustMS and 🖥 NVIDIA’s GPU grant for research.
I am fourtunate that I get to work with amazing people: Dr. Lingjuan and Dr. Weiming at Sony AI, Dr. Fengwei, Dr. Chuanlong, Dr. Zhenguo, and Prof. Luo at Huawei, Prof. Sung-Ho for Ph.D. supervision, and Dr. Ali and Dr. Usama at ITU.
I also like 📖 reading, 🏛 traveling, 🧑💻 coding and 👷🏼♂️ building stuff.
