I like travelling, exploring new places, and photography. During my PhD at NUS, I was fortunate to explore several famous countries such as USA (San Franscisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, New York, New Jersey, Orlando, and Miami), France (Paris), Switzerland (Zurich), Australia (Sydney and Brisbane), Japan (Tokyo), Taiwan (Hsinchu, Taipei, and Green Island), Singapore, Malaysia (Kualalumpur, Langkawi, Ganting Highlands, and Johar Bahru), Indonesia, The Netherlands (Amsterdam), Portugal (Porto, Faro, and Lisbon), (Hamburg) Germany, and India as part of my research and cultural visits. The following is my footprints.

I love running, swimming, cooking, and playing TT (Table Tennis) in my spare time. I have learnt swimming in NUS itself. Thanks much to my coach Mr Lingam. NUS provides all sorts of opportunites to learn different sports as your hobby besides supporting your research.

I have also worked as a graduate representative and member of graduate liaison committee in School of Computing, NUS, during the academic years 2012-2013 and 2013-2014. My job was to help graduate students and organize different events in the school. This provided me opportunity to interact with studnets of different countries. Moreover, I am a regular blood donor at Red Cross and Health Sciences Authority (HSA), Singapore. I have joined as a volunteer for Bone Marrow Donation Program. I also urge my friends, students, and others to join such donation programs. It gives an imense pleasure to contributing towards our community.

I am a reviewer in several top-tier conferences and journals such as ACM Multimedia (2018, 2017), IEEE CIM (2018), ACL (2018), IEEE MIPR (2018), ACM CIKM (2017), IEEE ICME (2017), CVIP (2018, 2017), SIGIR (2017), LKE (2017), Springer MTAP (2018, 2017, 2016), IEEE Transactions on Multimedia (2018, 2017), IJBIDM (2017), Elsevier Neurocomputing (2016, 2017), etc.
