Biography

Mudassir Shabbir received his PhD from Division of Computer Science, Rutgers University, NJ USA. His main area of research is Algorithmic and Discrete Geometry. He has developed new methods for the characterization and computation of succinct representations of large data sets with applications in nonparametric statistical analysis. He also works in Combinatorics and Extremal Graph Theory.

Previously, Mudassir has worked at LUMS, Lahore, Los Alamos National Labs, NM, Bloomberg L.P. New York, NY and at Rutgers University. He was Rutgers Honors Fellow for 2011-12.
