Professional Summary

My scientific trajectory is rooted in the resilience of Kashmir, advancing from foundational schooling to graduation in Bijbehara, completing my MCA at the Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST), and now pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Kashmir. Grounded in a strong core background in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, I apply deep learning architectures, graph neural networks, and pattern recognition systems to solve complex biological questions. Currently serving as a Project Research Scientist at the Chromatin and Epigenetics Lab (CIRI), I develop AI-driven pipelines to decipher high-order 3D spatial genomics and chromatin interactions. Alongside my algorithmic expertise, I bring elite systems-engineering competencies, including root-level kernel debugging, lossless system and storage recovery, HPC cluster management, and scalable enterprise application deployment.

Strategic Objective

My objective is to advance state-of-the-art Machine Learning frameworks specifically engineered for multi-dimensional biological datasets and 3D spatial genomics. Through my doctoral research at the University of Kashmir, I focus on constructing self-supervised and predictive AI models to uncover hidden chromatin conformation states, topologically associating domains (TADs), and gene regulation dynamics. I aim to deliver open-source ML pipelines, high-fidelity neural network simulations, and high-performance interactive tools that convert high-throughput genomic data into actionable biological insights, bridging Computer Science and Life Sciences.
