I am pursuing my PhD at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Germany as a scholar funded by HEC/DAAD. My dissertation focuses on 3D Object Recognition in Indoor Environments Using Point Cloud Data. As a computer vision engineer, I specialize in deep learning, 2D and 3D object recognition, and image processing. I have experience developing intelligent perception systems and integrating AI with practical robotic applications to address complex visual tasks. I possess strong programming skills in C/C++ and Python and a solid understanding of file management, data management, and networking. I am eager to collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to turn research into production-ready solutions.
