I am currently appointed as an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences Islamabad, where I lead the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Lab. I received my PhD from the University of Waterloo where I was part of the Artificial intelligence Group. My research work at Waterloo combined compiler optimization, design, constraint programming, and graph theoretic analysis. Proir to that I was also a member of Networks and Distributed Systems Group. I did my undergradute at The University of Texas at Austin.

My current research work focusses on Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning and Green Computing. Green Computation attempts to connect optimization techniques with programming languages, compilers and computer architecture. It attempts to develop tools and techniques to help developers improve the energy consumption of software on power-constrained devices. Do not hesitate to contact me if your research interests lie at the confluence of these areas.

My current research interests include:

• Green Computing
  
• Text Mining
  
• Graph Theory
  

In previous years I have worked on several compiler optimization problems targeted towards low-end, power constrained processors. These include formalizing instruction scheduling for clustered architectures, memory hierarchy optimizations and code generation.

• Compiler Optimizations
  
• Memory Hierarchy Optimizations
  
• Constraint Programming
