Momin Ahmad Khan

I am a fourth-year PhD student at UMass Amherst, working with Professor Fatima Anwar. My areas of interest are the security and privacy of distributed machine learning systems. I have worked on designing new attacks and defenses for Federated Learning (FL) and uncovering experimental pitfalls in the robustness evaluations of existing attacks and defenses.

Recently, I completed my internship at Nokia Bell Labs, where I was a research intern for the Autonomous Systems Research Group. I worked on designing model selection and code generation pipelines using various LLM agents and tools. In addition, I created a smart meeting manager using LLMs, computer vision models, and hardware components to orchestrate and conduct meetings without any human intervention.

Before joining UMass, I completed my undergraduate studies in Electrical Engineering at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the National University of Sciences and Technology in 2021.

Besides work, I am learning to play the guitar. I enjoy cooking and keep trying out new recipes. But most of all, I love playing Dota 2, and I am in the top 10% of players globally!
