CGPA: 4.85/5.0
My main research area is GPU based advanced volumetric rendering. Initially some algorithms for visualization of laser scanning confocal endomicroscopic (LSCEM) imagery were developed for National Cancer Center Singapore (NCCS). Now we are looking into methods for simultaneous visualization and deformation of volume datasets on the GPU. I am also interested in developing new data structures for GPU.
CGPA 3.91/4.0
Specialized in computer graphics and animation. In addition, core modules like digital image processing, data structures and computer languages were my main interest.
I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at DHA Suffa University Karachi.
As a research scientist at Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), I was involved in computer graphics and visualization research and development. My main responsibilities were in two projects. The first project was an augmented reality based system called MagicMirror for retail shopping that allowed users to try-on virtual clothes. More details about the project can be obtained from this website http://www.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/project/virtualclothes/. In the second project called HDRi (High Dynamic Range imaging), my main responsibilities were to provide GPU support for the whole imaging and image processing pipeline.
As a research officer at Nanyang Technological University, I was involved in research in computer graphics and visualization. Specifically, my focus was on introducing new algorithms for pervasive image processing and visualization on the mobile phones and tablets using the new WebGL standard. In addition, I was also involved in carrying out the summer camp for students.
Development of dynamic integrated training simulators and action speed tactical trainers. These systems are massive interconnected simulation platforms for tactical training. I was responsible for integration of the graphics layer with the rest of the simulators running on the RTI middleware. In addition, simulation scenario building tools were also developed. The tools and skills learnt included Visual C++ (STL, MFC, wxWidgets, Qt, DirectX API) and Visual C# (including the Managed DirectX layer for the scenario building application).
I took internship as part of our undergraduate degree requirement. I worked mostly with the reporting and documentation on the ABAP module of SAP implementation of ICI.

Commulative Impact Factor
Cel-FI (Cellular Fluorescence Imaging) for NCCS.This is the real-time 3D volume rendering application that was developed for the visualization of LSCEM datasets for National Cancer Center Singapore (NCCS). Previously, the scanning machine would just visualize the z depth scans and so the doctors would not be able to see the other dimensions (for e.g. the cross sectional view). To enable this, we developed a real-time 3D volume rendering application that would visualize the dataset across a network instantly. Thus, the operator would grab a scan on one end and the 3D volume will be visualized instantly on the other end. The whole visualization system was built in house without using any third party libraries. OpenCloth.I am the author of the open source cloth simulation library (OpenCloth: http://code.google.com/p/opencloth) that is specifically geared towards beginners and researchers. It implements all of the basic cloth simulation algorithms in as simple a manner as possible so that beginners know exactly what goes underneath a cloth simulation package or a physics engine. Rather than wrapping the code into a lot of classes, all of the codes are written in just a single file. The package is not just limited to cloth simulation, it also shows how to do basic soft bodies using co-rotated linear FEM. For details, visit the project website.GPU-VR (GPU based volume rendering).During my survey of the volume rendering field, I developed applications to implement the state of the art in volume rendering. The algorithms implemented include 2D and 3D texture slicing, shear warp, cell projection, marching cubes and marching tetrahedra, ray casting and splatting. All of these were implemented on the GPU. GPU-VDF (GPU based volume deformation).This is the current work I am working on. I am now trying to develop innovative deformation pipeline using the GPU for simultaneous visualization and deformation of volume datasets. For this work, I am using GLSL and CUDA. This work is using the features exposed in the modern OpenGL namely the transform feedback mechanism to achieve fast deformations of volumetric datasets.GPU-RAPT (GPU based ray and path tracing).Since the start of my undergraduate studies, I had been amazed by both raytracing and path tracing. I had plenty of hands on experience to build my own raytracer and path tracer on the GPU. In addition, I also had a deep look into OptiX engine as well as CUDA for ray tracing.
