About Me

Hello! and welcome to my personal website. Here you can find the information about me, my research, and other activities. I am from Abbottabad - a beautiful valley in northern Pakistan. Currently, I am a research and innovation (R & I) engineer at Interdigital, Inc. London. I am working on 6G and beyond technologies such as ISAC, RIS, and AI for wireless.

Before this, I was a Marie Curie PhD fellow at CTTC for ITN WindMill where I was working at the intersection of machine learning and wireless communications. My research objective was to design and develop distributed random access schemes for massive connectivity using multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithms.

During my PhD, I spent 4 months at Nokia Bell Labs Paris and 4 months at Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC), ETH Zurich for my industry and academic secondments, respectively.

I am enthusiastic about career counseling and helping students and youngsters with their careers. I occasionally write on medium.

The ITN Windmill Journey Ends!

Windmill has been a blast! Ups and downs of a PhD, excitements of the project meetings, networking with researchers and colleagues and sharing your progress and secondments - all of this has given an immense amount exposure and experience. The ESRs family that has been created out of this project is wonderful. The overall project network has been great and well managed - kudos to the coordinator (Aalborg University) and others in the consortium. Thanks to CTTC (Monica) for hosting me and giving me the opportunity. It could have been better has the COVID not affected the life on the planet but still grateful - Alhamdolillah. Watch the video for takeaway lessons!

My Experience as a Marie-Skłodowska Curie ESR

The article for the aspirant students who want to learn about the ESR experiences and I have also reflected on how pandemic has affected our experiences.

A year later in ITN WINDMILL

It's been a nice ride so far with ups and downs because of the COVID-19 but hanging in there. The experience is so far great and I am planning to get the most out of the remaining of it. Hopefully get good results in my research.

Is 5G Harmful?

There are so many conspiracy theories floating around about harmful effects of 5G. Although I don't want to go into details of why but I would like you to be informed. It is OK to be afraid of new technologies and their adversary effects but you should always keep yourself rightly informed. Here is an excellent piece of article by an expert engineer and scientist, Prof. Petar Popovski, for you to be rightly informed.

WindMill's Second Meeting in Paris

The second meeting of ITN WindMill took place in Paris. Unfortunately, we couldn't see project officer because of the COVID-19 but it was fun meeting all ESRs again. We had interactive sessions and training on career counseling. Technical talks on machine learning for wireless communications were given by expert researchers; notably 1) Osvaldo Simeone from King's College London and 2) Alessio Zappone of the University of Cassino Italy.

Paris was amazing as one could imagine. Walks along the Siene river are memorable and you could see most of the beautiful Paris this way. The food, of course, was delicious!

ITN WindMill's Introductory Video

My introductory video at WindMill's kickoff meeting at the University of Aalborg, Denmark. I talked about my research project and my previous experiences plus the motivation of joining the WindMill Project

WindMill's Kickoff: Aalborg

Group photo of kickoff meeting of ITN WINDMILL in Aalborg University Denmark. It was really nice to meet all the ESRs, advisors and researchers working on machine learning and wireless communications. Going out with ESRs and knowing each other was fun even though weather was mostly grey and rainy.
