Research and Teaching
Welcome to my Research and Teaching website. I am currently working as an Assistant Professor in School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (SMME) at the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, Pakistan. I have shared appointment at the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences (BMES) and the Department of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (R&AI). I am also serving as head of IT department at SMME. I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National University of Singapore in 2013. Prior to this, I worked as a Research Engineer at Interactive Multimedia Lab, Singapore (2006-2008) and Intelligent Transportation Research Group Sweden (2004-2006).
I have been active in academic research since 2004. My research interests include computer vision, medical signal and image analysis, machine learning, computer graphics, control systems, and power electronics.
I am also an active member of IEEE (USA), IET (UK), and IMechE (UK). I regularly review manuscripts for IEEE Access, Journal of Biomedical Signal and Control and chair technical tracks at international conferences (RTCES'17,ICIP'18, ICGCET'18, APICEE'19, ICR'19).
