I am a Computer Science student at Habib University focused on the union of High-Performance Computing, Differentiable Simulations, and Machine Learning. I enjoy solving complex algorithmic problems and building systems that bridge theoretical research with practical implementation, and sharing my learning journey through technical content on YouTube.
- Scientific Computing: Developing TurboDiff, a differentiable fluid solver for airfoil optimization using JAX and XLA.
- LLM Research: Exploring model alignment through reinforcement fine-tuning (GRPO) and efficient model compression (Pruning + Quantization).
- Distributed Systems: Investigating distributed load-balancing algorithms on tree topologies.
A high-performance, differentiable inviscid flow solver built from scratch. It utilizes JAX for Automatic Differentiation to compute exact discrete adjoints, enabling rapid convergence in aerodynamic shape optimization.
An implementation of a randomized algorithm for heap selection with logarithmic memory usage, based on the IPCO 2023 paper. I identified and corrected a flaw in the original proposed algorithm during implementation.
A ROS2 implementation for a differential drive robot. It features autonomous navigation and SLAM capabilities in unknown environments.
A deep dive into advanced data structures, specifically implementing and visualizing Sleator-Tarjan Link-Cut Trees to optimize network flow and tree operations.
