Conditionally cleared PhD qualifying exam

I was declared conditionally passed in the PhD qualifying exam held in our department at LUMS. The condition is to clear a course in Digital System Design with a minimum of B+ within the next one year. I am happy to have moved closer to another milestone.

Camera ready paper submitted to IEEE GlobeCom 2007

After I worked with my advisor and my co-author Atif Nazir all day yesterday, and they spent the night working on the paper after I departed at 11 pm, and I caught up with them today, we have submitted the camera ready copy of the research paper "A simulation study of GELS for Ethernet over WAN." We found some issues with the simulation results before submission of the camera ready paper and I had to incorporate several fixes to the simulator code with very valuable help and guidance from my advisor and Atif Nazir.
