About me:

I am a PhD student in Dynamic Distributed Decentralized Systems (D3S ) group, a cross-institutional research group of University of Trento and Bruno Kessler Foundation. Under the supervision of Dr. Amy Murphy, I am researching energy efficiency for Wireless Sensor Networks and Cyber Physical Systems using cross-layer adaptive protocols. I am currently involved in T.R.I.T.on and ACube projects. Before joining the doctoral program, I completed my MS (Computer Science) in 2008 with a National Management Foundation Gold Medal for securing the top position in the class at Lahore University of Management Sciences, Pakistan. I received my BS from National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, Pakistan in 2004.
