TA CS551- SP2005

"Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not?" - George Bernard Shaw Assalam-o-alaikum, I am a PhD candidate at the Computer Science Department, University Of Southern California , advised by John Heidemann and co-advised by Wei Ye. Currently I am affiliated with the I-LENSE Lab at ISI.  I am currently part of the SNUSE project, where we plan to extend sensor networks to the more challenging underwater acoustic domain. This website will, hopefully, give you a flavor of what I am and what I aspire to become (the quote above will give you a hint). On May 14th, 2008 I was initiated in the Phi Kappa Phi honour society, USA's oldest and most selective all-discipline society honoring academic excellence. I was one of only 32 university-wide (3,000+) PhD students invited to join this selective society, representing the computer science department at USC. Caution: This is a typically self aggrandizing introduction by a PhD candidate :).

UPDATE:

I was recently blessed by Allah with a sweet "flower of paradise" Zunaira Affan.

Interests:

1. Cricket (of course... I am a Pakistani after all), Squash (even got a scar on my chin , thanks to ....,to prove it), Tennis (just started it), Badminton (love playing this game), Basket Ball, Swimming.

2. Movies, specially the pure adrenaline pumping action adventure, ones. But my favorites are mostly not from the pure action genre e.g. : BraveHeart,  Dead man walking, Lord of the Rings, Matrix 1, Sweet November, Scarface.

3. I love to travel, as the numerous pictures above will testify, and appreciate the beauty of nature and human architecture. I have been in USA for just 2 years now (gosh.. it seems to have gone by so quickly) and have already visited the following places: Los Angeles (duh!!!), San Franciso, Yosemite, San Diego, Santa Barbra, Lake Tahoe, Las Vegas, Laughlin, Grand Canyon, Boston, Cape Cod, New York, Matha's Vineyard, Dallas, College Station, Houston, Orlando, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Key West.

4. Intellectual discourse about the meaning of our lives, state of the world, Islam - about once every month. 

5. Books - all types. fiction (Ludlum, Cussler, Archer, Clancy), Science fiction (Dune), historical (Sword of Allah), classics (Illiad, Much ado about nothing).
