I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Computer Vision and Robotics Institute, Universitat de Girona, Spain. My project focuses on developing an innovative system that autonomously classifies skin lesions as benign or malignant. This system leverages a large dataset of unlabeled skin lesions, augmented with limited labeled data, to reduce the need for manual annotations by doctors. By automating the classification process, we aim to streamline diagnostics, save valuable time for medical professionals, enhance early-stage skin cancer predictions, and ultimately improve patient outcomes and access to timely dermatological care.
I completed my doctoral degree in Network and Information Technologies at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Spain, under the supervision of Prof. Agata Lapedriza Garcia and Prof. Carles Ventura Royo. As a member of the AIWELL Artificial Intelligence for Human Well-being Research Group, my research focused on the subjective nature of emotions in designing affective-based computational systems. My dissertation, titled "Modeling of Emotional Subjectivity in Affective-based Predictive Systems," explored these concepts in depth.
I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science and Technology from Nanjing University of Science and Technology, China, and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science and Technology, Pakistan.
My primary research interests include the robustness and generalization of neural networks, representation learning, self-supervised learning, reinforcement learning, explainable AI, domain adaptation, and knowledge discovery.
