About

I am a Ph.D. student since December 2022, jointly at the CVMP lab and Max Planck Institute for Informatics (MPI).

I did my Bachelor’s in Software Engineering at NUST, Pakistan, and my Master’s in Informatics at TU Munich, with a focus on Computer Vision and AI. During my thesis, I developed ManhattanSLAM, a robust SLAM system that utilizes structure in indoor scenes for accurate camera pose tracking.

My research interests lie in 3D Computer Vision in general, particularly in reconstructing 3D models that allow the synthesis of photorealistic novel views for AR/VR and content creation applications. I’m mainly focusing on 1) reconstructing the surface materials of a scene, which enables scene relighting, and 2) handling non-rigid deformations, which allows the reconstruction of richer data since the world is inherently dynamic.

I like to play music, read, or pop a game of chess in my free time.
