Hi, I am currently a Research Academic (Post-Doctoral) at Human-Centric AI Group in School of Electrical Engineering, Computing and Mathematical Sciences at Curtin University. My core research area is Affective Computing using Computer Vision and Machine Learning techniques. I have prior experience in working with multimodal data such as image, video, text and physiological signals. In my current role as well, I am pursuing research in human behaviour understanding, affective computing, human centred ai, rehabilitation robotics in different real-world applications.
I obtained my PhD in Information Technology from Monash University in Oct 2022. My PhD thesis was on 'Automatic Eye Gaze Estimation with Limited Supervision' which mainly focuses on self-supervised, unsupervised, weakly/semi-supervised learning paradigms for generalized gaze representation learning.
Research Interest:
Keywords: Learning with limited supervision, Human Behaviour Understanding, Gaze Estimation, Individual and Group Emotion, Complex Human-Human Interaction, Human Centred AI, Affective Computing, Machine Learning, Deep Learning.
