I, Dr. NASIR SALEEM, received a B.S. in Telecommunication Engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology, Peshawar, Pakistan, in 2008. I earned my M.S. in Electrical Engineering from CECOS University, Peshawar, Pakistan, in 2012, and completed my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in digital speech processing and deep learning from the University of Engineering and Technology, Peshawar, Pakistan, in 2021. Following my PhD, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Islamic International University Malaysia (IIUM), where I researched modern artificial intelligence-based speech processing algorithms. From 2008 to 2012, I served as a lecturer at the Institute of Engineering Technology (IET), Gomal University, engaging in both teaching and research. Currently, I am working as a Research Fellow at Edinburgh Napier University, Scotland, working on Towards Cognitively Inspired 5G-IoT-enabled Multimodal Hearing Aids. In addition, I am an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering & Technology (FET) at Gomal University. I also hold the position of Deputy Director, at the Quality Assurance Directorate at the same institution. My research interests include human-machine interaction, audio and visual speech enhancement, speech recognition, speech and video processing, and machine learning applications. I have published several research papers in renowned journals and conferences, including those by Elsevier, Springer, and IEEE. In addition to my research, I actively participate in academic and research activities such as MS/PhD thesis evaluation, guest editing and journal/conference paper reviewing.
