Rohail Asim

I am a PhD Candidate in Computer Science at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University advised by Professor Yasir Zaki and Professor Lakshminarayanan Subramanian . My research interests include Computer Networks, Artificial Intelligence, and Sustainable Computing. I completed my BS in Computer Science in 2019 from Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) where I also worked as a Research Assistant at the Technology for People Initiative (TPI) before joining NYU. I am currently working on multiple projects within the domain of Computer Networks especially involving the analysis and advancement of Congestion Control protocols for next generation wireless networks.
