I hold a Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Tianjin University and a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology Peshawar.

My research focuses on structural health monitoring of civil infrastructure using computer vision, machine learning, and surrogate beam modeling. 

My broader goal is to contribute to the global community by advancing the safety and resilience of infrastructure using modern data-driven tools. Following my PhD, I will pursue an academic career focused on developing intelligent, explainable digital twin–based monitoring frameworks. I aim to translate this knowledge to industry by developing cost-effective and scalable solutions that enhance the resilience and reliability of existing infrastructure systems.

I am currently pursuing my Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering at Louisiana State University.

My research focuses are rooted in innovation. I am currently exploring the integration of artificial intelligence within structural engineering to enhance analysis, design, and health monitoring processes. Additionally, I have previously conducted research centered around geoinformatics within Louisiana.

After completing my undergraduate studies, I envision contributing to innovation, specifically within the Southern region of the United States, sparking what I call the “Southern Renaissance.” I believe my work here could unlock a new era of growth—bringing lasting, impactful changes that honor and elevate the unique soul of the South!
