My research interests include computer vision and machine learning, where I lead a research team that has published more than 100 papers in related top peer-review conferences and journals (e.g. CVPR, NeurIPS, TPAMI, TIP etc). I was the founding Chair for IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, Malaysia chapter.
Also currently, I serve as the Associate Editor of Pattern Recognition (Elsevier), and have co-organized several conferences/workshops/tutorials/challenges related to computer vision/machine learning. I am a Senior Member of IEEE, a Chartered Engineer and a Member of IET.
From 2020-2022, I am seconded to the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) as the Undersecretary for Division of Data Strategic and Foresight, as well as the Lead of PICC Unit under COVID19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF).
Highlights:
03/2022: One(1) paper to appear in ICPR-2022.
I am always interested to hear from prospective research students. Scholarships are available from time to time, contact me to enquire.

DeepIP: Deep Neural Network Intellectual Property Protection with Passports Star
We propose novel passport-based DNN ownership verification schemes which are both robust to network modifications and resilient to ambiguity attacks (i.e. the DNN model performance of an original task will be significantly deteriorated due to forged passports).
