For the past twelve years with academic/industrial experience, I had various opportunities to serve in different Universities/Industrial Organizations and had been actively involved in Research and Design Projects around the Globe. My accumulated work essentially spanned the entire domain of Electronic System Design from top to bottom level. I have specialized in the field of Low-power 2D/3D System-on-Chip (SoC) design and particularly in Embedded Systems. In general, my research interest includes Low Power Embedded Systems, SoC design, Nano Devices and Computer Architecture.

As regards my academic/industrial experience, I had various opportunities to serve in different Universities/Industrial Organizations and had been actively involved in Research & Design Projects around the Globe. Currently I am working as Associate Professor at the Department of Electronics Engineering, UET, Taxila. Previously, I had served in Qassim University, Saudi Arabia, University of the Punjab and GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences & Technology, Pakistan. I was invited as a Visiting Researcher at Ryerson University and University of Victoria, Canada in the field of Computer Architecture design. I had also worked as Test Engineer in Celestica, Canada and Design Engineer in Infineon Technologies AG, Germany.

I have specialized in the field of 2D/3D System-on-Chip (SoC) design and particularly in Low Power Embedded Systems. My research has been focused in power modeling of SoC and its subsystem of Network-on-Chip (NoC) design in 2D/3D ICs. Power function is largely determined by input patterns. The characteristics of these patterns have a major influence on power dissipation. The power macromodeling technique uses the input patterns with the predefined statistical characteristics that helps to analyze the average power consumption of the different intellectual-property (IP) cores and the interconnects/buses/TSVs in MPSoC design at high-level. In general, my research interest includes Low Power Embedded Systems, MPSoC design, Nano Devices and Computer Architecture.

I am honoured of being a member of IEEE, and PEC. I have published more than 40 technical papers in different International Journals and Conferences. Currently, my book “Digital Logic Analysis & Design” is under revision and is going to be published soon.
