About

I am currently in my second year pursuing a Ph.D. in Biostatistics at the University of Washington. I am interested in machine learning, particularly regularized regression for high dimensional data. Currently I am working with Professor Gary Chan at the University of Washington, as a research assistant. I am currently working on non-parametric methods for causal inference and density estimation problems.

Originally from Pakistan, I completed my Bachelor's degree in Probability and Statistics from McGill University, Montreal. My undergraduate project, under the supervision of Professor Russell Steele, focused on causal inference for longitudinal data. At McGill, I was also exposed to functional data analysis, particularly MCMC methods for differential equation models.

In my free time, I enjoy running and squash.
