I am currently a Research Associate at the University of Manchester, working on the Teraflux project. I finished my PhD in Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. While there, I worked as a Research Assistant for the iTLS project, which was joint work with the University of Manchester.
My advisor was Marcelo Cintra, and I was part of the Compiler and Architecture Design group (CArD). My PhD thesis is concerned with improving the efficiency of Thread Level Speculation (TLS) through the use of intermediate checkpointing.
Before my PhD, I completed an MSc at Edinburgh in 2005. My first degree was a BS in Computer Systems Engineering at the Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute in Topi, Pakistan.
