Hi, I'm

Tajmir khan

Passionate about research & applying science to help create a better world.

About me

I was born, raised, and educated in Pakistan, which I proudly call home. Currently, I am voluntarily working with iCodeGuru as a Trainer and Moderator, teaching Data Structures, Algorithms, and LeetCode problem-solving. Alongside this, I am teaching as a Lab Instructor at Quaid-e-Azam University (QAU), where I guide students in programming and practical computing concepts. Previously, I served as a Lecturer at the Federal Urdu University of Arts, Sciences & Technology (FUUAST). As an MPhil researcher at Quaid-e-Azam University (QAU), I conducted research under the supervision of Dr. Umer Rashid. My research interests include Multimedia Information Retrieval, Natural Language Processing, and Query Modification. Currently, I am focusing on AI-driven Faceted Aggregated Multimedia Search Results, with an aim to leverage real-time systems like Google for enhanced data analysis.
