Lecturer in Engineering

I am a Lecturer in the School of Computer Science and Engineering. I completed my PhD in Electrical Engineering from University of Nebraska-Lincoln (USA). I completed my MSc in Electrical Engineering and BSc in Electrical Engineering from University of Nottingham (UK) and University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore (Pakistan), respectively.

My PhD research focused on risk-based machine learning approaches for power system probabilistic transient stability. The associated findings have been widely published and cited in numerous high-impact factor journals and top conferences.

Prior to commencing my role at University of Sunderland in 2023, I had three years of teaching experience at different universities in Pakistan. During this period, I taught a wide range of modules including Electrical Network Analysis, Power Generation and Utilisation, Industrial Process Control, Electric Circuit Analysis, Control Systems, DC Machines, and Measurements and Instrumentation.
