About Me
I’m a computational social scientist. My research combines agent-based modeling, game theory, and computational simulation to study how human social networks form and evolve over time.
I’m a Fulbright Alumnus with a Master’s degree in Computational Social Science from the University of California, San Diego, and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science (minor in Mathematics) from Habib University, Pakistan. I currently work as a Dean’s Fellow in the Computer Science department at Habib University, a pre-doctoral program focused on research, teaching, and mentorship.
Research Interests
My work sits at the intersection of computer science and the social sciences. I’m especially interested in:
- Dynamically evolving social networks: how relationships and group structures shift and reorganize over time
- Agent-based modeling and simulation: building bottom-up models, often in NetLogo, to study emergent social phenomena
- Game theory: modeling strategic interaction and cooperation
