I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at Edith Cowan University working with David Suter, and a Sessional Instructor in the School of Mathematics at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.
My research interests span combinatorics and machine learning. On the mathematical side, I work on discrete and computational geometry, extremal and probabilistic graph theory, and additive combinatorics. Currently, I am applying combinatorial geometric methods to robust fitting problems in computer vision and exploring reinforcement learning approaches for mathematical discovery.
Previously, I was a Research Fellow in the Discrete Mathematics Group at Monash University working with Daniel Horsley and an Assistant Professor at Xiamen University Malaysia. Before that, I held postdoctoral positions at Iowa State University under Shira Zerbib, and at the University of Notre Dame under David Galvin and Sergei Starchenko. I received my Ph.D. at Rutgers University under the supervision of William Steiger. I completed my undergrad in Computer Science at Lahore University of Management Sciences, where I worked as a research assistant under Nabil Mustafa and Ashraf Iqbal.
