Hi, Moin here!

I am a research assistant at UCD, Dublin and studying for a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering at the HKUST, Hong Kong. My work is on general purpose disk-based indexes that enable applications to handle large amount of data without overloading the RAM. During my M.Sc. studies, I developed machine learning protocols for federated systems in Python, and crowdsensing mechanisms for blockchain and mobile devices on Ethereum and Android. My current projects are in Rust.
