I was born in 1976, Karachi, Pakistan. I completed my high school in Saudi Arabia in 1996. I obtained my BS in Electrical Engineering from the GIK Institute, Pakistan in 2000. After that I went to work for a North American communication IC design firm (Avaz Networks, inc.) as a VLSI engineer. I worked for Avaz till 2003. In the fall of 2003 I went to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor to obtain a Masters in Communication Theory. After spending a little over two years at UofM I came back to Saudi Arabia and joined the King Fahd Univ. of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) as a lecturer for undergrad courses and labs, including probability, circuit theory and signal processing. I am now currently enrolled as a PhD student at the EE Dept. of KFUPM. My PhD studies will commence from the Fall term, 2013. For obvious reasons (researches in information theory, coding, signal processing etc.) I have a keen interest in various areas of mainstream mathematics, inlcuding analysis, measure theory, abstract and linear algebra, probability and mathematical statistics and differential geometry as well as applied areas like statistical signal processing which lies at the intersection of the above mentioned fields. I have always enjoyed mathematics right from my high school years.
