Academic Achievements
  • Published multiple papers in top-tier conferences and journals such as NeurIPS, EMNLP, and IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology; awarded the prestigious NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship; organized a workshop at NeurIPS 2025.
Research Experience
  • Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Waterloo, working with Prof. Krzysztof Czarnecki at the WISE Lab. Prior work includes developing end-to-end deep learning and inverse reinforcement learning-based models for multimodal, context-aware, and interaction-aware motion forecasting, as well as extracting efficient driver embeddings from driving time series using scalable representation learning techniques.
Education
  • Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Ottawa, supervised by Prof. Azzedine Boukerche. Dissertation focused on driving behavior analysis and prediction for safe autonomous vehicles.
Background
  • Research Interest: To develop trustworthy, interactive, and scalable models that integrate computer vision and natural language to enhance perception, understanding, reasoning, and decision-making in autonomous systems like autonomous vehicles. Specialties: Multimodal large language models, computer vision, robotics, machine learning, explainable AI, and reinforcement learning.
