In my PhD, I designed a hand-held unit to simultaneously communicate with Electronic compass, Mobile telephone and GPS receiver. This project was co-sponsored by RNIB (Royal National Institute for Blind) UK and the designed unit was proposed for the guidance of blind and partially sighted pedestrians. I published 57 research articles in International and HEC-recognized national journals. My 2 articles are under revisions and 1 Book and 2 Book chapters (considered equal to research journal publications by HEC) are also published by renowned publishers. I also presented 20 research papers at International forums & got them published in conference proceedings.

Being an active team player and strategic thinker, I am energetic, organized and determined to achieve my targets. I have proven negotiation and liaison experience with a range of different customers using sound communication and well-developed inter-personnel skills. My administrative and academic background demonstrates a successful record of career accomplishments. Through these achievements, I have proved myself a strong motivator and demonstrated professional qualities in technical and management areas. I am Programme Evaluator (PEV) of Computer Systems Engineering and Software Engineering programmes on behalf of Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) and National Technology Council (NTC). I am also a member of EAB (Engineering Accreditation Board) of PEC. I have also attended ABET Accreditation Assessment Workshop and Symposium in Portland, Oregon, USA in April 2013 and Washington Accord meeting in Penang Malaysia in April 2014.

I also acquired 28 acres additional land for construction of new infrastructure of the University from Revenue Department of Khairpur Mirs, Government of Sindh and completed boundary wall and started the construction of new campus. I also launched the new website and prospectus of the University for both Under-graduate Engineering Technology and Skill Development sections. I also completed the process of handover/takeover of assets, liabilities and staff with Sindh TEVTA. Being the pioneer Vice Chancellor, I took the challenges, served without salary and a without any official vehicle for more than 9 months initially and faced & overcome the financial challenges of the University. I understand quite well that I have to face further challenges to lead one of the most renowned University if given a chance in a more competitive and difficult economic environment, maintain the sound financial base, develop and refurbish the infrastructure and provide the best possible environment to recruit and retain the academic and administrative staff. I also have to establish close contacts with industry and form an active industry-academia board for the employment and placement of the graduates. However this cannot be one-man operation, so I have to form a well-equipped and multi-skilled team to get the esteemed institution moving on the path of success. I am the first academician who achieved the status of Professor under the mentorship of Late Prof. Nisar Ahmed Siddiqui in Sukkur IBA University and established the faculty of Engineering and laboratories under the kind guidance of legend Nisar Ahmed Siddiqui.
