Dr. Junaid Farooq
PhD (Artificial Intelligence), National Institute of Technology Srinagar
Hi, I'm Junaid
Welcome to my website.
I am an engineer, researcher, and technology enthusiast. I have bachelors and masters degrees in Engineering from National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar. Recently, I completed a PhD degree in Artificial Intelligence from NIT Srinagar under the supervision of Prof. Mohammad Abid Bazaz.
My research work mainly involves development and integration of various artificial intelligence and deep learning techniques to achieve advances in computational intelligence with applications in NLP, generative modelling, and machine learning.
I strongly believe that the future of technology will be at the intersection of artificial intelligence and human intelligence.
