I am a Ph.D. Student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at RICE University. I’m part of the Energy Systems Lab (ESL) supervised by Dr. Laura Schaefer. My areas of research interests and expertise are: Energy Systems, Renewable Energy, Heat Transfer, Thermal Modeling, Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), Machine and Deep Learning, Data Analysis, and Thermal Optimization.

I have previously worked as a Lecturer (Mechanical Engineering) at Balochistan University of IT, Engineering, and Management Sciences (BUITEMS), Pakistan. Where I was teaching courses at Undergraduate level and was helping students with their senior year design projects.

I completed my Masters in Mechanical Engineering from Florida State University (FSU) on Fulbright Scholarship in May 2021. At FSU, Dr. Juan C. Ordonez was my major advisor and I was part of his Thermal Management Group at Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS). During my masters, I also served as a Graduate Intern (Thermal Optimization) at National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) under the supervision of Dr. Alexander Zolan.

In my free time, I like to play Cricket, watch TV series, and play video games (CSGO). I love to spend my time looking at memes on the internet. Here’s one related to Mechanical Engineering :)
