I joined the Virtual University of Pakistan in 2010 as an Instructor (Computer Science) and am currently serving as a Lecturer. I completed my BSCS in 2009 and later pursued an MSCS from COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI) while continuing my teaching responsibilities at VU. I am currently enrolled in the PhD (Computer Science) program at CUI. To strengthen my foundation in networking, I also earned the Huawei Certified ICT Associate (HCIA) certification in Routing and Switching.
My research interests include Software Defined Networking (SDN), Information-Centric Networking (ICN), and Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS). As part of my PhD work, I am currently exploring advanced areas such as Graph Neural Networks (GNN) and multi-objective optimization for IRS-assisted wireless networks, focusing on enhancing routing and beamforming in multi-hop and multi-IRS environments. |
