About me!
I am a researcher and an academician. I am currently working as Visiting Fellow and Casual Academic at Macquarie University NSW Australia and pursuing Post-Doc in Machine Learning and Privacy from the School of Computing, Macquarie University NSW Australia. I served as Lecturer at the Institute of Computer Science and Information Technology (ICS/IT), The University of Agriculture Peshawar, Pakistan (2011-2023) (Currently on Leave).

I have received Ph.D. Degree in Computer Science from Capital University of Science and Technology (CUST), Islamabad, Pakistan, in 2020. Previously, I worked as Lecturer at Preston University Peshawar Campus, Program Coordinator and Lecturer at Farabi College Peshawar, and Visiting Lecturer at Iqra National University Peshawar and Allama Iqbal Open University Peshawar.

As an educator with over 16 years of experience, I have been privileged to teach Computer Science and Information Technology-related courses at various universities' undergraduate, graduate, and PhD levels. My teaching philosophy is centered on fostering a dynamic, inclusive learning environment that encourages active student engagement and critical thinking. I am dedicated to inspiring students to become lifelong learners with the skills and knowledge needed to excel academically and professionally.

As a researcher, I bring a unique perspective to the classroom, incorporating the latest developments and cutting-edge research into my teaching. My ability to connect theoretical concepts to real-world applications enriches learning and instils a sense of relevance and excitement among students.

Beyond teaching, I am enthusiastic about contributing to the academic community through research collaboration, mentoring students, and participating in departmental initiatives. I also served as the Program Coordinator (5 years), a member of the Board of Studies (7 years) and founding member of ZeroOne Research Group (8 Years), and a member of the Institute's Purchasing Committee (3 years) at ICS/IT, the University of Agriculture Peshawar.

I can speak five languages (English, Urdu/Hindi, Pashto, Hindko, and Panjabi), and my hobbies include reading books, PC games and documentaries, tourism, visiting historical sites, history, swimming, and all other stuff that inspires me.

Research Interests.
My research interests are Privacy, Machine Learning, Data Science, Natural Language Processing, Sentiment Analysis, Networks, Internet of Things.
