I am a robotics researcher and Professional Engineer focused on developing novel flight hardware and control systems. I thrive in collaborative environments, transforming theoretical models into functional, physical prototypes. My career goal is to engineer practical solutions for hardware-constrained environments that drive positive global impact.
SELECTED PROJECTS AND EXPERIENCE
SELECTED PROJECTS AND EXPERIENCE
King's College London - Master's Thesis
Project Goal: take the metamorphic design of the existing Origaker and make it fly.
Application: create a drone that can fit into tight spaces and traverse on difficult terrain and in the air
Result: prototype complete and successful initial flight tests (2027 IEEE International Conference on Robotics & Automation (ICRA) paper submitted)
flying1.mp4King's College London - Flight & Aerodynamics Design Course
Project Goal: optimize range and flight maneuverability of a fixed wing drone for parcel delivery
Application: allow for parcel deliveries across long ranges and in difficult terrain where fixed wing drones cannot land
Result: optimized airfoil selection for range and completed SolidWorks assembly, prototype ready to be built
August 2024 - Technology academy launched in Karachi, Pakistan
Developed and led an Intro to Robotics course to provide students with programming and prototyping skills
Developed and led Python and Excel courses for tech workers to enhance productivity and data analysis skills
