Biography
Dr. Waheed received his BS in Electronic Engineering from the BUITEMS, Quetta, Pakistan, in 2008. After working in the Pakistan’s Space and Upper Atmospheric Research Commission (SUPARCO) for four years, he pursed his MS in Microsystems Engineering from Masdar Institute, and then PhD in Interdisciplinary Engineering from Khalifa University UAE.
Before joining Habib University in January 2020, Dr. Waheed was associated with BUITEMS, Quetta, where he worked as Assistant Professor in Department of Electronic Engineering.
Dr. Waheed has research interest in the areas of sensor array processing, digital beamforming, MEMS design and analysis, motion sensor data fusion, and embedded signal processing. He has authored several refereed publications and the inventor on one (filed) US patent.
