About Me

I am currently a first-year PhD student at the University of Surrey, UK, focusing on leveraging foundational models for resource-efficient and data-efficient continual 3D world understanding. My research is conducted under the guidance of Dr. Yunpeng Li and Dr. Xiatian Zhu.

Before embarking on my PhD journey, I had the privilege of working at Mohammed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) in Abu Dhabi. Under the mentorship of Dr. Salman Khan and Dr. Fahad Khan, my work centered on developing foundational models for continual learning and continual point cloud segmentation using indoor datasets. Prior to joining MBZUAI, I gained valuable experience as a freelancer, contributing to diverse projects across various disciplines in both research and industry. During this period, I also collaborated with esteemed institutions such as CERN, UIUC, and Cambridge University.

My academic journey commenced with a bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from Shri Guru Gobind Singh Institute of Engineering and Technology, Nanded (India). Notably, during my final year, I had the opportunity to spend six months at NTU Singapore, where I worked on Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Night-Time Vehicle Classification under the guidance of Dr. Meiqing Wu and Dr. Lam Siew Kei.
