Department of Electrical Engineering
Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering
Lahore University of Management Sciences.




 

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Lahore University of Management Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan. I am also a Co-Director of CITY (Center for Urban Informatics, Technology, and Policy) at LUMS.

Previously, I was with the Department of Electrical Engineering, at University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore as an Assistant Professor. Prior to that, I was a Research Fellow with the Research School of Engineering, College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS), The Australian National University (ANU), where I was also a member of Applied Signal Processing group. I also worked at Tetra Pak as Project Engineer from 2008 to 2010.

I was also a Visiting Professor at the Department of Statistics, at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST from Aug. 2023 to Aug. 2024.

I am also a co-founder of Vending Central.
