Hi! I'm Ammarah Hashmi, Doctorate Researcher
at National Tsing Hua University.

I'm a Software Engineer who is passionate about
Technology and innovation.

Who I am

"By Learning to create technology, Girls learn to speak up".

I'm a nimble-witted Doctorate Researcher who is passionate about technology and innovation.
I have a strong inclination towards Machine Learning and Computer Vision.
I'm currently, working in Machine Learning and Deep Learning to produce predictive modeling based ML solutions.

I'm working in Media Forensics, my intense focus is on Multi-modality and has experience with designing
and developing rectifiable, future-proof and resilient forgery detection models using latest technologies and services.
My Research interests include Machine Learning, Image Processing, Speech Processing and Media Forensics.

Lately, I've been buckling on Big Data Analytics & Data Science to develop expertise in analyzing
big datasets & finding patterns and insights within unstructured and structured data in core python libraries.

Recently, I've been involved in few major publications regarding Media Fornsics to develop
deep learning based state-of-the-art multi-modal models for forgery detection in videos.
You are welcome to read more about my research articles.

Also, I'm a Software Engineer with the clear and logical mind, familiar with
cutting-edge engineering solutions with the wide range of technical skills.
Moreover, I'm interested in competitive programming and developing applications usually with python.

I'm a curious and self-motivated content writer and an author who is eager to
create unique content strategy and obessed with writing compelling content in free time slots.
You can find my content on Medium.

I'm a body with positive soul who believes in shaking away negative tendencies and keep focusing on what I can do, not on what I can't.
