About Me
Welcome To My Digital Space!
I am Wali, a Graduate Research Assistant at the Autonomic Computing Lab, The University of Arizona, specializing in AI, NLP, and Multi-Agent systems. My research, funded by NSF CAC and NSF WISPER, focuses on AI-driven reputation management, SEO intelligence, and compliance verification in communication standards.
I also contributed to the InSuRE Program (NSA-funded), working on network security, covert communication in IPv6, and machine learning-based traffic analysis. Passionate about AI and Neural Networks, I strive to develop innovative, real-world solutions for the future.
Beyond research, I enjoy exploring new cultures through food, dance, and music. Currently, I’m learning Cuban dance styles e.g. salsa and bachata to keep myself socially engaged.
