Education:
Masters of Science, Mechatronics Engineering - National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan, 2014 Bachelors of Engineering, Electrical Engineering -
National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan, 2011
I am a PhD Student in the Robotics Program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where I am working at the NEST Lab. Currently, my research interests are towards swarm-robotics, and how the energy demands of a swarm of robots can be met using the swarm infra-structure itself.
