About

πŸ‘‹ Hi, I'm Jazlan

PhD Student in Privacy and Systems

I am a first-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of California, Davis, where I work on cutting-edge anti-tracking frameworks and privacy-preserving networks. My research sits at the intersection of network security, privacy, and systems design.

I’m advised by Prof. Zubair Shafiq and Prof. Alexander Gamero-Garrido.

πŸŽ“ Background

Prior to UC Davis, I completed my undergraduate studies at Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), where I worked on systems research under the guidance of Prof. Zafar Qazi and Prof. Ihsan Qazi. My undergraduate research focused on building systems to improve edge latency in the 5G control plane.
