Academic Profile

My research lies at the intersection of computer vision, cyber physical systems security, and generative modeling, with a particular focus on autonomous vehicular perception systems (AVPS). I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) from the University of Texas at Arlington, where I worked in the Cyber-Physical Systems Security (CSS) Lab advised by Dr. Habeeb Olufowobi. I am actively seeking research opportunities and open to collaborate on interesting projects.

My research is anchored in three central thrusts:

• Robustness — analyzing and defending AVPS against adversarial threats.
• Scalability & Personalization — advancing federated fine-tuning of vision–language models with personalized adaptation.
• Adaptability — enriching latent representations through multimodal integration to improve scene understanding.
