Two decades. Five countries. One mission — to architect the future of intelligent engineering. From co-inventing patented printed-electronics technologies in South Korea to leading departments through ABET accreditation in Saudi Arabia, my work bridges advanced academic research with industrial-scale systems that solve real problems.
My journey began in Pakistan, where I earned my Bachelor's in Computer Systems Engineering with distinction from QUEST, followed by a Master's in Mechatronics at Air University. Those formative years taught me one essential principle: real innovation lives at the intersection of disciplines.
That curiosity took me to South Korea, where my doctoral research at Jeju National University led to two international patents in electrostatic inkjet printing technology. Earning a PhD with distinction was rewarding, but the lesson was deeper: patient, precise engineering can quietly shape entire industries.
From Korea, my path led across continents. Seven years at Qassim University in Saudi Arabia — leading the SABIC-funded EHD spray system project, heading the Mechatronics and Robotics group, and earning the Best Teacher Award. Then UAE, where I directed the Data Science and Mechatronics group at SZABIST Dubai. A research role at the University of Malta brought me into Horizon Europe projects on emergency-landing systems for commercial aircraft.
Today, as Head of the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Prince Mugrin, I focus on building engineering programs that prepare students for the problems we haven't yet imagined. With ABET, NCAAA, and HEC accreditation experience, my work continues to bridge research and industry — because the future of intelligent engineering lives at the intersection of AI and human curiosity.
Facilitating ABET, NCAAA, and HEC accreditation processes with a focus on institutional growth.
Advancing intelligent systems with 2 international patents and $500K+ in funded research.
Providing high-level automation and control system consultancy across the Gulf and Europe.
Award-winning Best Teacher with over 20 years of academic delivery and PhD mentorship.
From Pakistan's classrooms to Saudi Arabia's academic leadership — every chapter shaped what came next.
