I am a fourth year PhD student at Virginia Commonwealth University where I work on problems in the area of Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics at the SAFE lab under the guaidance of Dr. Irfan Ahmed. Recently, my research has been particularly focused on Industrial Control Systems and Critical Infrastructre Security where I work on discovering vulnerabilites in ICS devices, developing digital forencis tools for investigating network based attacks on ICS and creating frameworks for collecting ICS threat Intelligence. Before joining VCU, I completed my B.S with computer science major from Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS). In my free time I like to play videogames, enhance my cooking skills and travel around the country.
