I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Swansea University, working on the ENCYRCLE project. I completed my PhD in Computer Science at the University of Hertfordshire, where I was a member of the Adaptive Systems Research Group headed by Prof. Daniel Polani.
I hold a double Master’s degree (by research) in Computer Science from Sunway University, Malaysia, and Lancaster University, United Kingdom, and a First-Class Bachelor’s degree in Electronics from Isra University, Pakistan.
My research interests lie in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and reinforcement learning, with a particular focus on decision-making, autonomy, and adaptation in complex environments. My work explores how intelligent agents can learn, reason, and interact with the world through reinforcement learning, intrinsic motivation, and related AI techniques. I am particularly interested in applications of AI to robotics, intelligent transportation systems, cyber-physical systems, and autonomous automotive technologies.
My publications are available on Google Scholar and ResearchGate.
