Hello!
My name is Umair Khan and I'm currently an undergraduate student double-majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics at Portland State University.
Aside from classes, I spend most of my time working in either the teuscher.:Lab or in the Reichow Lab.
I also help out at the Portland State Aerospace Society, working on the star tracker and cirrus imager instruments for OreSat, Oregon's first satellite.

Cx46/50 Mutagenesis
Working with Bassam Haddad and Steve Reichow, I conducted and analyzed mutagenesis simulations of the connexin 46 and 50 gap junction isoforms to investigate the effects of the N-terminal domain on ion permeation and energetics.
One-Pixel Attack
I worked with Walt Woods and Christof Teuscher to refine an adversarial technique against convolutional neural networks known as the "one-pixel attack" and developed a heatmap method for evaluating attack efficacy.
pytorch-srcnn
A PyTorch implementation of the Super-Resolution Convolutional Neural Network published in 2014. In addition to creating a simple command-line interface, I also provide pre-trained networks for zoom factors 2 through 8.
