I received a B.Sc. degree (with honor) in electrical engineering from the University of Engineering & Technology, Lahore, Pakistan, in 2000, M.S. in telecommunication engineering from NWFP University of Engineering & Technology, Peshawar, Pakistan, in 2008, and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia in January 2017.

Before joining the Islamia University of Bahawalpur, I worked as an Assistant Divisional Engineer at Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited from 2002 to 2007 and as a System Engineer with Delta Indus Systems, Pakistan, from 2000 to 2002.

My research interests lie in Signal Processing and Communications, particularly image and video processing, image compression, machine learning, image forensics, image quality assessment of distortions, enhancement and inpainting, medical image processing, wireless sensor networks and smart grids. I have published around 80 journal articles and conference proceedings in these areas. I am also a reviewer for many top-rated conferences and journals in related fields.
