I am a Ph.D. student in School of Physics, Engineering, and Computer Science at the University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, and 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 earned a first-class Bachelor’s degree in Electronics from Isra University, Pakistan.
My research interests span artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep reinforcement learning, with a focus on intrinsic motivation, information-theoretic modeling, and their applications in intelligent systems, tool use, and embodied agents. I also have prior experience in smart transportation and robotics.
My publications are available on Google Scholar and ResearchGate.
