Research interests/expertise

My research focuses on advancing the fields of Computer Vision, 3D Scene Understanding, and Generative AI through innovative learning paradigms. I am particularly interested in:
  • 3D Vision and Scene Understanding – including point cloud processing, neural radiance fields (NeRF), and Gaussian splatting for realistic 3D reconstruction and rendering.
  • Computer Vision – image understanding, object detection, semantic segmentation, and depth estimation for visual intelligence and spatial reasoning.
  • Multimodal Learning – integrating vision and language models (e.g. CLIP, BLIP, Flamingo) for cross-modal representation learning and grounding.
  • Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) – for image synthesis, style transfer, data augmentation, and domain adaptation across visual and medical imaging domains.
  • Diffusion Models – exploring next-generation generative architectures for high-fidelity image, text, and 3D content generation.

Areas of teaching

  • Computer Vision – Fundamentals of visual perception, object detection, image segmentation, and scene understanding.
  • Machine Learning – Supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning algorithms with real-world applications.
  • Deep Learning – Neural network architectures (CNN, RNN, Transformer), optimization techniques, and model evaluation.
  • Generative AI – Concepts and applications of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Diffusion Models, and Autoencoders.
  • 3D Vision and Graphics – Point cloud processing, depth estimation, Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), and Gaussian Splatting.
  • Multimodal Learning – Integration of visual, textual, and auditory data for cross-modal understanding and generation
  • Parallel and Distributed Computing – CUDA programming, GPU acceleration, and parallel algorithms for AI workloads.
