About

CV

I received my master’s degree in computer science from Sukkur IBA University, Pakistan, in 2020. I am currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree with the Department of Information Security and Communication Technology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway. Prior to joining NTNU University, I was employed as a Visiting Lecturer with Sukkur IBA University. I am the author of several articles published in international journals. My research interests include applied research in the field of artificial intelligence, NLP, machine learning, deep learning, and learning technologies. I also served as a Reviewer for IEEE ACCESS.
