I, Umar Farooq, currently working as a Remote Computer Vision Researcher at Dutch Autonomous Mobility (DAMBV) Netherlands, I am entrusted with the responsibility of addressing complex issues related to autonomous shuttles and developing robust, scalable software solutions. My research primarily focuses on decision-making methods for autonomous mobility and early-stage disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring. I am honored to serve as a Data Science Coordinator for the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Pakistan, in collaboration with the Prime Minister National Health Program. Our mission is to provide swift and dignified access to medical healthcare to underprivileged citizens across Pakistan. In addition to my work with the UNDP, I am also closely working with the University of Education, Data Science Healthcare group. We are currently working on Brain Tumor classification using transfer learning and have published a paper on the Global Scientific Journal. This project has allowed me to further develop my research skills and contribute to the field of healthcare. My passion lies in utilizing my skills and expertise to make a positive impact in the world. I am committed to making a positive impact in the world through my work, and I am excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible in this exciting and rapidly evolving field.
During undergraduage studies, I participated in the PASTIC intra-university project competition, presented "Simulation-based real-time object detection and segmentation on an autonomous vehicle," and won the runner-up award.
During undergraduage studies, I participated in the IEEE Hackathon Competition at FAST University and presented a "Multi-tasking RoboCar" prototype that can perform actions such as line follower and obstacle detection with wireless operation and was awarded the third-place prize.
As the head of the JAZBA community, my responsibility was to plan and organize academic and recreational events at the university's computer science department. It offers a range of indoor technical and non-technical activities that strengthen the reputation of the institution and empower students.
