“I believe in four things: self-confidence, determination, hard-work and knowledge.”
“Disappointment for a while is blessing while keeping it for long is curse and neglecting it is worst.”
Summary
I am currently working as a research associate under Professor Kyu-Young Whang at Database and Multimedia Laboratory, KAIST. My research interests are directly related to the exciting fields of Information Retrieval, Knowledge Engineering, Semantic Web and Operating Systems. My special interest in Computer Science makes me in constant search for new explorations in this field and I aspire to benefit the society through my computing skills. For me the computer is “both a friend and a machine.”

Projects
- ODYS Search Engine Ranking module
- PAL Linux
- Image SemSearch: Initially a brainchild of mine and my project partner Arjumand Younus but then taken under UNHP it is a search engine which is based on ontology-driven principles leading to a semantic-based searching mechanism for images.
- Ad Hoc Map Simulator
- Security Plus version 1-5
