|
He worked in Technical University of Denmark (DTU) during 1999–2000 as Research Assistant Professor. There, he supervised CAD for MEMS project funded by Denmark Technical Research Council. From 2000 to 2006, he worked in CMC Mcirosystems in Canada as Senior Staff Scientist in Microsystem Engineering. His main responsibility was to provide design, fabrication and test services through fabless design manufacturing network to Canadian universities in the area of MEMS and Microfluidics. He served as a Visiting Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Waterloo, Canada from 2003-2006.
In July 2006, he joined Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology as Foreign Professor under Higher Education of Pakistan’s (HEC) program of Foreign Faculty Hiring Program. He has received numerous research grants (total of Rs. 20 Millions) from HEC and National ICT Fund to establish research in the area of MEMS. Presently, he is heading the Department of Computing in CASE and his research group is involved in the development of MEMS based microgrippers for biomedical applications, micro gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometers.
