I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin, where I am beginning my research in Networked Systems under the supervision of Dr. Venkat Arun in the UTNS Lab.

Previously, I worked as a Research Associate in the Computer Science Department at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), collaborating with Dr. Zafar Ayyub Qazi, Dr. Ihsan Ayyub Qazi, Dr. Basit Shafiq, and Dr. Agha Ali Raza. I graduated from LUMS in 2024, where my research spanned 5G cellular networks, Ethereum 2.0 blockchain networks, and scalable software for LLM-powered applications.


Misc

  • I have always been sketching as hobby, visit my art collection here!
  • I often try to follow the helpful advice given by my mentor, Dr. Ihsan Ayyub Qazi. (While I do my best to apply these principles in my research journey, there are often times when I fall short ;-;).
  • A fantastic resource that greatly assisted me during my application for doctoral studies.
  • One of the most memorable match from last premier league, where Liverpool F.C greatly humbled Manchester United F.C by 7-0. Yes, I'm L.F.C fan !
  • One of my favourite songs from my favourite Rock band, Linkin Park. Listen here !
