Faculty Proflle

Biography:

With over 18 years of progressive experience as an academician and researcher in the field of computer science, I bring forth robust communication and analytical skills. My professional journey encompasses roles in research, teaching, and student management within both private and public sector universities.

Currently serving as an Assistant Professor at Comsats University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, I actively engage in instructing graduate and undergraduate students in computer science and artificial intelligence. Additionally, I play a pivotal role in mentoring numerous scholars on research endeavors.

My contributions to research and academia are reflected in approximately 40 published research articles, boasting a Cumulative Journal Citation Report Impact Factor (JCR-IF) of 34+ and garnering a citation count of 618 in reputable international journals and conferences. My research interests span Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), Machine Learning, Intelligent Healthcare, Medical Diagnosis, and NLP for Emotion Modeling, among others.

Energized and driven, I adopt a dynamic research approach, focusing on advancing the realm of AGI. My overarching goal is to contribute to the creation of conscious machines equipped with cognitive abilities akin to those of humans.
