ABOUT · RESEARCH · PROJECTS · DATA · EXPERIENCE · EDUCATION · SKILLS
I am a Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) researcher and AI/ML engineer, currently serving as a Lecturer in Computer Science at Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan, Pakistan. My work connects machine learning with the natural sciences, with applications across materials science, energy systems, and computational healthcare.
I combine scientific reasoning, machine learning, and practical engineering to develop interpretable and reproducible systems, with an emphasis on uncertainty estimation, robustness, and evaluation under distribution shift.
Does a model merely perform well, or can we trust what it predicts?
Through university teaching and technical mentorship, I connect academic concepts with practical engineering, research methodology, and professional responsibility, helping prepare students for careers in academia and industry.
