I am a Ph.D. student, working with Dr. Fawad Ahmad in the Networked Sensing Systems Lab, Department of Computer Science at Rochester Institute of Technology.

Academic Background: I graduated with honors from the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences (NUCES) in Pakistan, completing my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Computer Science in 2015 and 2018, respectively. From 2019 to 2021, I served as a research team lead at the Intelligent Information Processing Lab, part of the National Center for Artificial Intelligence (NCAI) in Peshawar. I also held lecturer positions at Bahria University Islamabad and the University of Engineering and Technology, Mardan.

Research Focus: I am a systems researcher focused on designing real-time, scalable systems that combine data from multiple sources with high accuracy and low latency. My work enables autonomous vehicles to more robustly perceive and understand their surroundings, leading to more reliable decisions in complex environments. Experience with LiDAR and camera perception, SLAM, ROS, CUDA, and point cloud processing, as well as large-scale simulation and 3D reconstruction using Gaussian Splatting and NeRF.
