I am a Sr. Research Manager at NVIDIA Research, leading the Digital Human AI Research (DAIR) team. My work focuses on enhancing the digital human creation process, encompassing capture, modeling, synthesis, and animation, with a strong emphasis on both appearance and dynamic characteristics. I earned my PhD in Computer Science (2014-2018) from the University of Bonn, Germany, under the guidance of Prof. Juergen Gall. Before that, I completed my master’s degree (2011-2013) in Finland and my undergraduate studies (2006-2010) in Pakistan. My passion for computer vision and machine learning began in 2009 during my undergraduate thesis on vehicle make and model recognition, and I have been dedicated to the field ever since. Currently, my work primarily lies at the intersection of computer vision, graphics, and machine learning, with a particular focus on 3D digital humans.
