Dr. Jahanzeb Akhtar Assistant Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering Area of Interest: Control and information theory, state estimation and non-linear tracking, Kalman and particle filtering Tel # (Off): 111-001-007
On Leave
Jahanzeb did his undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering with control specialisation from City University London in 2010. Shortly thereafter, he joined the centre for sensors and instrumentation at Brunel University London for the degree of doctor of philosophy in Electrical Engineering (advance control systems) where he closely worked with the European organisation for nuclear research (CERN) and Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE) communities on the instrumentation and measurement systems (particle detectors) for efficient track re-construction, improvements in relative observability and computational complexity. He was awarded with a PhD degree for his research on efficient particle tracking in high energy physics experiments in 2015.

He moved to the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Comsats University as Assistant Professor in July 2016. His research interests mainly include control theory applications, Kalman and particle filtering, state estimation (bad data/outlier detection and trearment) and non-linear tracking in general and track reconstruction algorithm development and computing in particular for high energy physics experiments such as MICE at Rutherford Appleton laboratory Oxford and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Switzerland.
