Enabling autonomous vehicles to see beyond line-of-sight in real time.
I am a Ph.D. student (View CV) in the Department of Computer Science at Rochester Institute of Technology, where I work with Dr. Fawad Ahmad in the Networked Sensing Systems Lab.
Research. I work on real-time and scalable cooperative perception systems for autonomous driving. My research studies how vehicles and roadside infrastructure can collaboratively perceive complex environments beyond line-of-sight under strict latency, accuracy, and scalability constraints. A central theme of my work is the system-level co-design of perception, communication, and computation to enable reliable and safety-critical autonomous decision-making. My work has appeared in top mobile and sensing systems venues, including MobiSys and SenSys.
Background. I received my B.S. (2015) and M.S. (2018) degrees in Computer Science with honors from the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences (NUCES), Pakistan. Before starting my Ph.D., I was a Research Team Lead at the Intelligent Information Processing Lab under the National Center for Artificial Intelligence (NCAI) and served as a Lecturer at Bahria University Islamabad and the University of Engineering and Technology, Mardan.
