About
I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence at Kyung Hee University Global Campus, where I am a member of the Machine Learning and Visual Computing (MLVC) Lab, under the supervision of Professor Sung Ho Bae.
Previously, I served as a Research Assistant at the Center for Intelligent Systems and Security (CISS) at the Information Technology University, Lahore, under Dr. Qasim Mehmood, developing intelligent pathology systems for automated malaria detection and exploring deep learning for nanostructure response estimation.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila, where I conducted undergraduate research under Dr. Furqan Shaukat and Dr. Laiq Rehman Shahid.
