About Me

I am a final-year PhD student in Computational Vision at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Genoa, Italy, advised by Dr. Alessio Del Bue and Prof. Dr. Vittorio Murino. Previously, I was a Visiting Doctoral Researcher at the Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik in Germany, under the supervision of Dr. Vladislav Golyanik and Prof. Christian Theobalt.

My research focuses on 3D Computer Vision, Spatial Reasoning, and Generative AI, leveraging foundation and multimodal models with potential applications in shape correspondence, autonomous reassembly, robotics vision, and cultural heritage.

Prior to this, I served as a Researcher and Lecturer at the University of the Punjab, where I worked across handwritten document analysis, language generation, and medical imaging and received my master’s degree in Computer Science from the same institution.
