Academic Achievements
- Engaged in several research collaborations including but not limited to: performance benchmarks for heterogeneous devices, using FPGA clusters for HPC acceleration, accelerating atmospheric and oceanic models, accelerating quantum computing simulation, exploring optimized arithmetic for running scientific models on FPGAs, accelerating neural networks on FPGAs, type-aware System-on-Chip design, secure e-voting systems, developing FPGA-based embedded systems for MEMs sensors, using machine-learning for investigating bilingualism and bilingual grammar.
Research Experience
- Currently a Lecturer at the School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow, and also affiliated with the Centre for Computing Science Education (CCSE) and the Glasgow Parallelism research group (GPG); Teaches in the newly launched BSc (Hons) Software Engineering (Graduate Apprenticeship) program; Previously taught and held administrative roles (Dean and Head of Department) at Namal College, Mianwali, Pakistan, which was then an associate college of the University of Bradford.
Education
- Alumnus of the University of Glasgow; Worked as a post-doc on the EPSRC funded project 'Exploiting Parallelism through Type Transformations for Hybrid Manycore Systems', with Dr. Wim Vanderbauwhede as the principal investigator.
Background
- Lecturer at the School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow; Research interests include improving accessibility to heterogeneous platforms (CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs), accelerating scientific models and machine learning on heterogeneous platforms, exploring high-level programming and synthesis for FPGAs, FPGA-based embedded systems, and computing science education and work-based learning.
Miscellany
- A Compumatch associate; Honorary Chairperson of the Scottish Pakistani Association; Open to new members.
