I am currently an Associate Professor at IIT Jammu, working in the areas of visual perception and computer vision. My research explores the MLLMs and Deep Learning for visual perception and Computer Vision.

Before returning to academia, I worked as a Senior R&D Engineer at the Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI). I have also held project officer position at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, where I collaborated with Prof. Weisi Lin, and later served as a Visiting Faculty at NTU.

In 2017, I was a Visiting Researcher at the University of Konstanz, Germany, with Prof. Dietmar Saupe's Multimedia Signal Processing Lab.

I earned my Ph.D. from HKUST, where I was part of the Multimedia Technology Research Center (MTREC), working under the guidance of Prof. Oscar C. Au and Prof. Matthew McKay.
