Interested in working with me?

If you want to do research work with me, please make sure that your interests match with my interests (listed on my research and publications pages) before sending me email. I primarily work with students who are already enrolled or intend to enroll at LUMS. If you are a student somewhere else, please try to find a local advisor.

For undergraduate senior projects, I try to supervise no more than two groups each year. Please do some research before discussing your senior project ideas with me. The projects should broadly fall into an area of my interest. It would be nice if you have a system diagram that you can show me in your first meeting.

If you want to TA a course that I am teaching, please apply through online registration system. The online system is only available to current LUMS students. If you are not a current student at LUMS, try contacting the department for TA and other opportunities.
