Aaqib Zahoor Shah

 Biography

I am Doctoral fellow in the Department of Information Technology & Engineering at the National Institute of Technology Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir India. My Ph.D. advisors are Dr. Iqra Altaf Gillani and Dr. Janibul Bashir.

I obtained my Master’s degree in Computer Science & Engineering with honours and was awarded the gold medal for academic excellence. My M.Tech. advisors were Prof. Srinivasa K G . and  Dr. Iqra Altaf Gillani.

I am passionate about conducting research in the fields of network science, computational social science, and artificial intelligence (AI). My research focuses on several key areas, including identifying influential nodes in dynamic networks, analyzing the impact of diffusion models, optimizing non-monotonic and non-submodular functions to enhance the quality of influencers while minimizing time complexity, and investigating predictions related to graph topology and network evolution in scenarios of incomplete information.
