Howdy! I am a Ph.D. student in the department of Computer Science at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, working on Heterogenious Multi-UAVs Motion Planning Considering Obstacles and No-Fly Zones. I recieved my Masters degree in Electrical Engineering (Robotics & Control) from Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), advised by Dr. Abubakr Muhammad.
Before my Ph.D., I was working as a Team Lead in the Control, Automotive and Robotics Laboratory (CARL), a part of the National Centre of Robotics and Automation (NCRA) consortium. From June 2019 to September 2019, I worked as a visiting researcher at the Robotics Research Lab (RRLab) at TU Kaiserslautern, Germany. My research Interests lie broadly in robotics, mainly in Motion Planning, Control, and Trajectory Optimization problems and I have good hands-on ROS, C++, Python, simulation environments such as CoppeliaSim, Gazebo, Unreal engine, and robotic platforms mainly crazyflie drones and VICON/Opti-track systems.
During my leisure time, I love spending time with my family.
