Personal profile
Research Interests
My research interests include physical layer modeling, signal processing, and emerging technologies for 5G/6G networks, including reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, physical-layer security, non-orthogonal multiple access, UAV communications, and the IoTs.
Personal profile
I received the B.S. degree in Electronics Engineering from the GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology, KPK, Pakistan, in 2011, the M.S. degree in Information and Communication Engineering from Inha University, Incheon, South Korea, in 2016, and the Ph.D. degree in Information and Communication Engineering from Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan, South Korea, in 2019.
I served as a Research Professor with the Institute of Industrial Technology, Korea University, Sejong, South Korea, where i was also the recipient of a National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) Research Grant from June 2022 to May 2025.
I joined UNNC in Sept. 2025 and currently serve as an Assistant Professor.
If you are interested in the MSc in Electronic Communication and Computer Engineering (ECCE) or a PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at UNNC, and have research interests in 5G/6G wireless communication systems or related fields, please feel free to contact me to discuss further and explore potential research collaborations.
