Graduate Assistant and Research Mentor

I have served as a Graduate Assistant and Research Mentor at Louisiana State University, supporting undergraduate, master’s, and Ph.D. students across core computer science courses and independent research projects. My responsibilities span instructional support, hands-on laboratory guidance, and one-on-one research mentoring, with a strong emphasis on programming, experimental methodology, and applied machine learning research.

I actively mentored students on research projects and theses, guiding them through problem formulation, literature review, experimental design, and technical writing.

I have mentored students at different academic levels, including:

• Muhammad Tahir Khan (Ph.D. student, LSU)
  Thesis mentoring on time series forecasting and machine learning models.

• Roohana Karim (Master’s student, LSU)
  Project mentoring on large language model (LLM) prompting strategies and experimental methodology.

• Havan Pleasant (Undergraduate student, LSU)
  Mentor for a summer research project under the SMART REU program.
