I am a Sr. Research Manager at NVIDIA Research, leading the Data-Driven AI for Robotics (DAIR) team. The group investigates how robots can learn directly from human data, such as videos, motion capture, and large-scale demonstrations, to acquire skills that generalize across tasks, embodiments, and environments. We work at the intersection of computer vision, machine learning, and robotics, developing models that understand, reconstruct, and imitate human behaviors. 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.
