Welcome to my homepage. I am a graduate student at Department of Computer Science, School of Arts and Sciences, at Rutgers University advised by Professor Vladimir Pavlovic. I did a recent internship with Maja Pantic and Vladimir Pavlovic at Samsung Research AI Center (SRUK). Previously, I got my Master’s degree at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology advised by Professor Alexander Waibel and Professor Florian Metze, and received my B.E. at University of Duisburg-Essen, both with highest honor.
My research interests include computer vision, speech recognition, cognitive system, machine learning and deep learning.
Current Research Topics
