About

I am a first-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where I work with Professors Aishwarya Ganesan and Ram Alagappan at the Distributed and Storage Systems Lab (DASSL).

Before joining UIUC, I completed my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS). During my time at LUMS, I worked with Dr. Zafar Ayyub Qazi and Dr. Ihsan Ayyub Qazi, focusing on research assessing the affordability of mobile video streaming platforms.
