Education
Master of Science in Robotics Engineering
Worcester Polytechnic Institute • Worcester, USA
Pursuing advanced studies in robotics engineering with focus on continuum robotics, motion planning, and human-robot interaction. Awarded the prestigious Fulbright Scholarship to pursue graduate studies in the United States.
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
Fatima Jinnah Women University • Rawalpindi, Pakistan
Graduated with strong foundation in computer science fundamentals, algorithms, and software engineering principles.
Projects
Designed and implemented an advanced robotic grasping system using depth-informed topological analysis for multi-object manipulation. Created algorithms for valley detection, three-point grasp planning, and dynamic collision avoidance, integrated with ROS for real-world robotic applications.
Designed and implemented a Fin Ray gripper using SolidWorks and Arduino, integrating it with a computer vision-based waste classification system to autonomously sort recyclable and non-recyclable items on a conveyor belt.
Built and programmed a low-cost, modular Concentric Tube Robot platform, implementing kinematics in MATLAB and conducting tip-tracking experiments.
Implemented a novel grasping algorithm based on AnyGrasp for Motion Planning under uncertainty to grasp objects with occlusions, incomplete geometric information, and sensing limitations.
Developed undergraduate Capstone project - a Windows IDE application featuring Speech accessibility to make programming easy for visually impaired developers using Microsoft Speech API.
