Experience
Lecturer at Electrical Engineering Department, CIIT, Islamabad, Pakistan
(September 2010 – Present)
Teaching undergraduate courses and supervising undergraduate projects. Also have to
perform some additional administrative responsibilities.
Research Associate at Electrical Engineering Department, TUT, Finland
(February 2009 – August 2010)
Worked on the sysmodel project. The SYSMODEL project aims at providing SMEs with
system level modeling tools for the design and implementation of time and power
critical, heterogeneous systems. It allows the SMEs to build cost-efficient ambient
intelligence systems with optimal performance, high confidence, reduced time to market
and faster deployment. I developed a System Level cycle accurate model of Hierarchical
Network-on-Chip
(NoC)
for
on-Chip
Multi-Core
Platform
using
SystemC.

Research Associate at Electrical Engineering Department, CIIT, Islamabad,
Pakistan (August 2007 – August 2008)
Beam forming is a signal processing technique used with arrays of transmitting or
receiving transducers that control the directionality of, or sensitivity to, a radiation
pattern. When receiving a signal, beam forming can increase the receiver sensitivity in
the direction of wanted signals and decrease the sensitivity in the direction of
interference and noise. We used this technique for the array of microphones to detect
and remove Gaussian Noise.
At the same time responsible for teaching some undergraduate courses and Lab work.

Thesis
MS Dissertation: System Level Model of Hierarchical Network-on-Chip for
System-Level on-Chip Multi-Core Platforms.
The system level NoC Cycle accurate model is able to simulate the communication
network with several number of nodes and data packets. The modeled NoC is able to give
useful information regarding to delay, virtual channels and number of clock cycles
required to transfer the data packets. The user can also be able to get information about
the position of any data packet at any clock cycle in the network during simulation.

BS Thesis: Real Time Mobile Robot with Analysis of Surrounding Environment
and High Speed Integrated Embedded Wireless Communication System.
The aim of the project is to create an autonomous mobile robot, that will able to explore
the unknown terrain/environment. It is a moving robot equipped with wireless
transmission unit and also having some sensors. Sensors can help the robot in
movement and also in collecting real time data from surrounding environment Collected
data or information will be wirelessly transmitted to computer and also displayed on
Liquid crystal display (LCD) fixed on the mobile robot. Computer can receive data from
serial port and display it in Graphic User Interface (GUI).GUI was implemented in Visual
Basic 6.0. .Additionally, The robot is also able to follow the map with the help of GUI
installed in Computer.
Internships:
1. Worked at Communication Department at OGDCL, Islamabad
2. Worked as a Teacher Assistant of System Programming at COMSATS University.
Other Undergrad Projects
• Remote kit for computer,
Controlling the computer wirelessly through IR with the help of IR remote and
receiver using VB (4th prize in all Pakistan Electronic Exhibition UET Lahore 2005)
Operating system used Windows XP.
• Lab after hour Computation,
Using socket based Client/Server architecture make a cluster of computers and the
job is equally divided among the clients. Clients execute the part of their job
automatically and send result back to server. Operating system used Linux.
