What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior academic leadership or research-focused roles where I can advance precision manufacturing/C-MEMS research, build industry–academia collaborations, mentor faculty and students, and lead institutional quality and R&D growth.

I am a Pakistani mechanical engineer with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (Precision Manufacturing and Automation, C-MEMS/NEMS) from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. My research focuses on fabrication and simulation of 3D sensors, actuators and transducers with emphasis on performance, reliability and high throughput.

I have over three decades of combined industrial, teaching, research and administrative experience, including roles as Professor, Principal and Head of Mechanical Engineering Department, and Manager Mechanical Maintenance in industry. I have published more than 18 research articles in high-impact international journals and secured competitive research funding.

In leadership positions I have managed academic departments, quality assurance, admissions, R&D, HR functions and college finances while organizing conferences, workshops and seminars. I have supervised academic programs, admission policies and R&D strategies at multiple institutions across Pakistan.

I bring strong technical skills in CFD, FEM (Ansys), AutoCAD, MATLAB and programming (C, C++, C#), coupled with proven administrative, project management and industry–academia collaboration experience to drive teaching, research and institutional development.
