About

After standard 12 years of schooling in my country, I joined a 4-years Accredited Engineering Program at the University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila, Pakistan in 2006 and graduated in 2010 with the title BSc Computer Engineering. I have completed my MS in Computer and Communication Security in 2013 from National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan. Since February 2013 I am serving at the Department of Computer Systems Engineering, The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, Pakistan.

Research Interests

Since 2011, my research activities have been taking place at the intersection between Computer and Information Security, with a focus on Semantic Web. I am First Stage Researcher in Semantic Web but my skill set is equally suitable for allied areas of research in Linked Data, Data Sciences and Machine Learning.
