It is impossible to discuss female leadership in Kenya without discussing Wangari Maathai (1940-2011). Internationally, she was […]

I worked as a research assistant and did my Master’s in Computer Science from Information Technology University, Pakistan. My research there was based on designing Deep Learning based models to analyze built-structures in satellite imagery. My MS thesis being “Single image destruction detection in satellite imagery” increased my curiosity with what happens below earth’s surface when a catastrophe occurs and pushed me for applying for my PhD project “Using machine learning and satellite radar to detect silent earthquakes in Zagros-Mountains, Iran”. The bridge between the Earth Sciences and Computer Science department is very exciting for me as it will help me improve my learning curve.
