Current: I am a fifth year PhD student (Computer Science) at North Carolina State University, advised by Dr Muhammad Shahzad. My primary research interests are in machine learning and signal processing. My recent publications include:
- U. Khan., M. Shahzad, & L. Rigazio. Estimating Soil Moisture using RF Signals (Link). Mobicom, 2022.
- U. Khan., & M. Shahzad. Contactless Monitoring of PPG using Radar. IMWUT, 2022.
- H. Iqbal, U. Khan., H. Khan, & M. Shahzad. A Peek into the Political Biases in Email Spam Filtering Algorithms During US Election 2020 (Link). WWW, 2022.
- U. Khan., R. H. Venkatnarayan., & M. Shahzad. RFMap: Generating Indoor Maps using RF Signals (Link). IPSN, 2020.
Internships: This summer, I worked at Meta (Facebook) as an SWE intern. I designed deep learning models for notiļ¬cation ranking, which provided both offline and online improvements. In addition, I worked on various parts of the ML piepline including feature engineering, model training and validation, and online A/B experimentation. Prior to that, I worked as a research intern at Nokia Bell labs and machine learning intern at Koko Home.
Past: I got my Bachelors degree in electrical engineering from National University of Sciences and Technology (Pakistan). During my bachelors, I interned at Google Summer of Code, and worked on an open-source Python package stingray. Immediately after completing my Bachelors degree, I did a research internship at International School for Advanced Studies (Italy), and developed interactive tools to explore word associations in Italian language.
