I'm a Ph.D. student (2007 onwards) in Computer Science at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). I'm currently working on Social Network-related Internet measurement under Dr. Chen-Nee Chuah (Graduate Advisor) and have worked on G/MPLS-related issues during my undergraduate years under Dr. Zartash Uzmi at LUMS, Pakistan (2003-2007). Alongside my graduate studies, I develop/maintain various popular social network-based applications, reaching 10M+ unique users to date. I am a part of the RUBINET research group at UC Davis.
