I am an Associate Professor at MBZUAI and a member of the Intelligent Visual Analytics Lab (IVAL). Previously, I was a Senior Scientist at Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence during 2018-2020 and a Research Scientist in the Computer Vision Research Group (CVRG) at Data61, CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization) from 2016-18. I am also an adjunct faculty member at College of Electrical & Computer Science (CECS), Australian National University (ANU) since 2016. I was research visitor at NICTA (National ICT Australia) in 2015 and served as a research affiliate with Australian Center for Robotic Vision (ACRV) during 2016-18.

I work on model generalization, learning from limited data (zero and few-shot learning), adversarial robustness of deep neural networks and continual life-long learning systems for computer vision problems. The above-mentioned tasks can help us realize intelligent autonomous systems that can better understand the real world for improved recognition, detection, segmentation, and detailed scene comprehension.

Positions Available!

I am looking for exceptional candidates for two tracks: a) Research engineers, and b) Research interns at MBZUAI. Research engineers must demonstrate strong development skills via past projects (background in GIS and remote sensing is a plus). Research interns must have good grades in their BS/MS programs (top 10% of their class) and should have a relevant background in computer vision/machine learning (demonstrated through relevant coursework and past projects). Prior publication record in CVPR/ECCV/ICCV/NeurIPS/ICLR/ICML is a plus. Please drop me an email with your CV and a link to your Github profile.
