w Saad Ali

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Robotics Institute in Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). I am working with Takeo Kanade.

I finished my PhD in May 2008 under the supervision of Dr.Mubarak Shah. I did my bachelors in 2003 from Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology, Pakistan.
