I am a research faculty at the department of Computing Science, Simon Fraser University. I am also a committee member of Professional Master Program (Visual Computing). I lead and manage several industrial and research projects related to Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and also Computational Fabrication.

Previously, I was an NSERC postdoctoral fellow at GrUVi lab working with Prof. Zhang. GrUVi is the second best vision and graphics lab in Canada and is within 15 best labs in the world.

I received my PhD from the University of Calgary where I have been also a sessional instructor and a postdoctoral fellow at the department of computer science working with Prof. Samavati.

My main research interest is Computer Graphics with specialty in Geometric Modeling, Digital Fabrication, Machine Learning, and Computer Vision (Google Scholar). I have received several awards including NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship, Graduate Achievement Award, Michael A. J. Sweeney Award, and Teaching Excellence Award.
