Rukhshan Haroon (he/him)

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Tufts University. My research interests lie at the intersection of user accessibility, systems, and machine intelligence. My goal is to build technologies that address the unique needs of people with disabilities, empowering them to lead more inclusive lives. My work takes inspiration from the neurodiversity movement.

I am advised by Fahad R. Dogar.

Prior to Tufts, I completed my undergraduate degree in Computer Science from Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Pakistan. I was advised by Zartash Afzal Uzmi and Fareed Zaffar.

Here is my CV.
