When I came to LUMS in 2019 for an MOU signing, I visited SOE. Although I wanted to work for another year, the sense of a strong community and the top-notch faculty enticed me to apply. One semester down the lane, the journey has been nothing short of a moral epiphany.

I am currently a PhD student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in Math, Science and Learning Technologies. The opportunities that SOE provided helped me develop research skills and lay the foundation for my contributions to academia. Now I am continuing to research robotics, cognition and computational thinking during my doctorate, all of which is an extension of my work during the ELM MPhil.

I closely work with the directors of LLI in facilitating and co-developing the opportunities for student-faculty/staff collaboration to promote student learning and engaged teaching at LUMS. My work also involves Research, Program Development, and Mentoring the students. My favorite part of this job is that I get a lot of creative space in my dynamic role at LLI, and every day is a new challenge.
