I am working as a Senior Researcher in
the Multimedia Analysis and Data Mining
(MADM) competence center at the
German Research Center for Artificial
Intelligence (DFKI). I received the Bachelor degree (with honors)
in Electrical Engineering from UET Taxila, Pakistan in 2002, Masters
degree (with honors) in Information and Communication Systems from
TUHH, Germany in 2005, and PhD degree (summa cum laude) in Computer
Engineering from TUKL, Germany in 2008. My research interests include
document image analysis and pattern recognition. I have co-authored
over 60 publications in peer-reviewed conferences and journals in this
area and have also contributed a substantial amount of code to both
OCRopus and Tesseract open-source OCR systems. I am an Editorial Board
member of the International Journal on Document Analysis and
Recognition (IJDAR) and was a co-chair of the CBDAR 2007 Document Image
Dewarping Contest as well as the GREC 2007 Arc Segmentation Contest.
