Fizza Rubab

I am a PhD student at Michigan State University supervised by Prof. Yiying Tong. My research has been generously supported by MSU University Distinguished Fellowship. I am also an NSF AIDMM NRT Fellow. Previously, I was a visiting research intern at Max Planck Institute for Informatics working on neural rendering at ISMaeL. Before that, I did my Bachelors from Habib University where I graduated with first rank, received the Chancellor's Yohsin Award, Dean's Medal and the Best Computer Science Research Award.

I have a broad interest in computer graphics and vision especially in geometry and image processing. My current research interests focuses on neural representations and operators for images and geometry.

We unmask face embeddings by linearly aligning them with foundation models: once aligned, an embedding can be read with text queries, rendered into a face, and matched to a person's name.

We show that different face-recognition models encode facial identity in surprisingly similar ways, differing by little more than a linear mapping.

We introduce and analyze a range of neural methods for repeated integration and use them in convolution and rendering applications.

We introduce an interactive neural sculpting framework for stroke-based editing of 3D signed distance functions (SDFs).

We curate an Urdu Poetry (Ghazal) dataset of 17000 couplets from 15 poets and perform classification using multilingual transformers

We build a mobile application in collaboration with Aga Khan University Hospital to mobilize lifesavers trained for cardiac arrest and trauma injuries.

We compare different solutions to the famous Russel's paradox shared by scientists in literature and comment on their feasability.
