I am a Ph.D. candidate at Rutgers University–Newark. My area of research includes Low-Dimensional Topology, Computational Topology, and Knot Theory. My Ph.D. advisor is Anastasiia Tsvietkova.
Before joining Rutgers, I began my Ph.D. journey at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in Okinawa, Japan, where I spent two years. I hold a Master’s degree in Mathematics from the Institute of Business Administration, Karachi, Pakistan, where my supervisor was Danish Ali.
I am graduating in Spring 2025 and actively looking for my next journey. Please spread the word in your circle.
