I am working here on a 6 month long project. During this time my work will be related to incremental learning using different machine learning techniques. My group has designed a highly flexible network for feature extraction and classification problems, which is capable to handle level 3 referential uncertainty in feature extraction, So I will be mainly involved in implementing this algorithm in C, so that it can be used in real time and tested with Honda Humanoid Robot.

Worked part time in a small team of 2 persons to develop an agent based simulation for a small urban area transportation network using Python. The purpose of simulation was to answer research question; Does allowing extra decision dimensions(Here decision dimension means route choice, destination, time and other aspects of travel which individual traveler may change) maximizes overall transportation network performance?

• Conducted Introduction to Artificial Intelligence Lab offered for 3rd year students in spring 2009. • Teaching Assistant for Introduction to Artificial Intelligence course offered for 3rd year students in spring 2009. • Setup a 9-node cluster using on Rocks Cluster based on CentOS and AMD 64-bit Architecture. • Introduced a Buddy System in the faculty to help week undergraduate students having probations by providing them mentoring and personal attention to solve their issues.

• Worked in a team to design architecture for our Data Center being deployed in Karachi, Pakistan. IBM Pakistan was then major vendor for this project. • Worked in a team to design plan for expansion of our IP/MPLS based core network into 71 cities from existing 21 cities. Cisco Pakistan was major vendor for this project.
