Hi! I'm Talha (طلحہ). I'm a PhD student in Computer Science and Fulbright Scholar at Purdue. My current research focus is on Learning Generative Models and Implicit Neural Representations for Robot Motion Planning tasks.

Previously, I was a ML Software Engineer at Pointivo where I developed and deployed ML pipelines to derive insights for 3D asset inspection. Before that, I studied Mechatronics & Control Engineering at UET Lahore, and Signal Processing and Machine Learning at LUMS.

Research Interests

Machine Learning, Motion Planning, Scene Understanding
