Served Previously

I received the B.S. degree in electronics engineering from the COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI), Abbottabad, Pakistan, in 2007, the M.S. degree in communication engineering from the Chalmers University of Science and Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2010, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering in April 2020, with the Division of Computer, Electrical, and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I have been a Lecturer with the Department of Electrical Engineering, CUI, Lahore, Pakistan, since 2007. From 2011 to 2013, I was a Research Engineer with the Microwave Laboratory, University of Calabria, Rende, Italy. My current research interests include computational electromagnetics, inverse electromagnetic scattering problems with an emphasis on sparsity-promoting regularization schemes, microstrip antennas, machine learning and data science.
