I received my bachelors degree in Computer Engineering from University of Engineering and Technology Taxila, Pakistan in 2008 and Masters degree in Biomedical Engineering from University of Boras, Sweden in 2010.
After completing my Masters in August 2010, I went to Universidad de Alcala on the European Training Scholarship, awarded by the University of Boras in 2010-11 and Industrial Scholarship in 2011 by University of Alcala. My main research area was speech source separation for the binaural hearing aids.
I joined Neonatal Brain Research Group in 2011 for Ph.D. as a SFI scholar in University College Cork. My Ph.D. was supervised by Dr. Andrey Temko and Dr. Gordon Lightbody. Title of my thesis was " Dynamic classifiers for neonatal brain monitoring". Brief introduction to my research can be found here.
After finishing my PhD, I worked in INFANT research centre as a postdoc researcher where I contributed towards the development of seizure detection system for preterm neonates.
After staying in academia for a long while, I joined IBM in Feb 2017 to get some industrial experience. My stay at IBM helped me polish my programming skills and get acquainted with latest big data related technologies.
I have recently (Oct 2018) moved from IBM to join the Machine learning team at Qualcomm. Here, I will be working towards development of algorithms to optimize different SoC related processes.
Besides my full time job, I still keep myself updated on my research interests that include but are not limited to Dynamic kernels for Support vector machines, Machine learning, Statistical bio-medical signal processing and pattern classification, Gaussian Mixture Models, Supervectors.
