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 current research involves applying combinatorial geometric methods to robust fitting problems in computer vision, and exploring reinforcement learning approaches for mathematical discovery. More broadly, 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.
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.
