Wasim Qamar Malik DE 18 EE

“My career trajectory, after graduating from EME College as an electrical engineer, was unusually
circuitous – no pun intended. I spent a few years in the telecoms, software and consulting industries,
and then got back into school for my doctoral and postdoctoral research in engineering and
neuroscience. I am now on the Harvard faculty and based in Boston. Looking back, one factor
behind my career choices was that I often picked the road not taken, and then jumped ship whenever
it became too nice and cozy. Things would surely have been pretty different with any other set of
choices, but it's hard to say whether they would've panned out better or worse. I might be able to tell
you that in another ten years, so please save some space in that issue of the Newsletter.”
“Growing up in Islamabad, I could only have imagined a rather limited set of career options, but
some interesting opportunities came my way which led to unpredictable decisions. As I see it, to be
successful you must be a traceur who can carve out a path through life's ever-changing maze.”
Talking of turning point in his carreer, he adds: “After several years of research in wireless communications engineering, I realized
at one point that while it had good commercial and academic value, it was not going to make a fundamental difference to anyone's
life. That was the point some three years ago when I switched into researching medical applications of engineering, leading me into
the world of neuroscience for which I had no prior training. As faculty at a medical school, I now develop technology that would
potentially enable people with locked-in syndrome to move and speak. It was quite a gamble to make such a major shift at the time,
but it has been very rewarding in multiple ways.”
Wasim Qamar Malik is an Instructor in Anesthesia at Harvard Medical School, and is affiliated with the Massachusetts General Hospital and
the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging. He also holds visiting appointments at the MIT and Brown University. He is a member of the
Neuroscience Statistics Research Laboratory, the BrainGate Neural Interface Systems Laboratory and BioMatrix at these institutions.
He received the DPhil degree in EE from the University of Oxford, UK, in 2005, where he worked in the field of wireless communications.
He developed signal processing techniques for multi-gigabit wireless communications as part of his postdoctoral research. From 2007-
2010, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the MIT and Harvard Medical School.
Wasim has published an edited book titled Ultra-Wideband Antennas and Propagation for Communications, Radar and Imaging (UK: Wiley,
2006). He was the Lead Guest Editor of the IET Microwaves Antennas and Propagation special issue (Dec. 2007). In addition, he has
published in excess of 70 research papers in refereed journals and conferences. He routinely serves on the organizing and technical
program committees of various international conferences. He also consults for the industry and government on a variety of areas in signal
processing, communications and biomedical engineering.
Wasim is the Vice-Chair of the IEEE Engineering and Medicine in Biology Society, Boston Section. He is a Senior Member of the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and a Member of the Society for Neuroscience.

Zill e Eizad DE 18 EE
“During my last semester at the E&ME College, I was accepted for internship with a company
called Communications Enabling Technologies as a software design engineer. While studying for
my Electrical Engineering degree, I had come to the realization that I preferred writing software
over designing hardware so the internship was a perfect start of my career. After working at Enabling
Technologies for two years I decided to pursue further education and moved to Brisbane, Australia
for a Masters degree in Computer Engineering. After completing my masters, I landed a job with
Beeline Technologies as a Software Engineer. Since then, Beeline Technologies has been bought by
Hemisphere GPS”.

“While working at Enabling Technologies I let my work and home life balance tilt extremely towards work. I spent very long hours
at work and couldn't get my mind off work even when I wasn't working. For me the realization that I need to change came when my
health started degrading. So I decided to stop working and go back to studying to allow myself the time to rethink my priorities. I feel
that it was one of the best decisions I have made thus far in my career. I now have a much greater appreciation for maintaining a
balance between work and home and I have learned the skills required to achieve that balance.”

Yasir Javed DE 19 CE

“I joined Enabling Technologies (ET, Also known as Avaz Netwroks) during the last
semester at EME. The decision was based on inspirational personality of Dr Shoab and ET
being an excellent learning platform. ET was developing a carrier class media gateway
which was world's highest density chip at that time having forty processors to maximize the
parallelism and consequently the number of voice channels. ET could not sustain a Market
Slump and broke into CARE and Quartix.”
“I joined CARE and spent next five years mostly working on hardware design of Digital
Communication and Image processing systems. The motivation behind staying at CARE
was that most of engineers leave Pakistan for their career growth leaving the projects which
are strategically important for our nation with a brain drain situation. In Pakistan, research
culture is relatively new and organizations are reluctant in funding R&D projects. So putting
effort to make them success was very important in my view.”
“From the 2008 to date, I have been working at Renzym as CEO and co-founder. There were two
main reasons to start this venture. Firstly, we (i.e. the founders of Renzym) after experience of around
seven years felt that developing a world class product is not that much of a science. If a team sticks to
a problem, it eventually gets solved. We wanted to try making some world class products made in
Pakistan. Secondly, we wanted to contribute in research sector. As research sector needs funding, so
we wanted Renzym to generate that. The name Renzym comes from words Research and Enzyme
with the main theme of acting as a catalyst for Research. So far it has been an accelerated learning
phase in my life and I expect that Renzym will start making an impact in a couple of years inshAllah.”
“Meanwhile, I completed my masters from CASE and am a faculty member at IQRA University
Islamabad.”
Talking of turning point in his carreer, he adds: “The turning point in my career was when I co-
founded Renzym. It is really a different experience to decide for yourself about which direction you
want to go instead of being told by someone else -- as is normally the case in a job. Deciding the
direction is an open ended problem, and often the direction becomes a moving target based on
technology trends, market trends and our skill set. This venture has added much more breadth to my
thinking then I expected while taking this choice.”

Affan Ahmed DE 19 EE
Syed Affan Ahmed is a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the Information Sciences Institute (ISI). He
completed his PhD in Computer Science from University Of Southern California (USC) in 2009
working on underwater sensor networks. He is affiliated with the ISI Laboratory for Embedded
Networked Sensor Experimentation (I-LENSE) Lab. On May 14th, 2008 He was initiated in the Phi
Kappa Phi honour society, USA's oldest and most selective all-discipline society honoring academic
excellence. He was one of only 32 university-wide (3,000+) PhD students invited to join this selective
society, representing the computer science department at USC. He has a bunch of conference and a
journal paper to his credit. He loves travelling, reading and photography.
“My decision for higher education, beyond the BE at EME, was for an evolvable and
sustainable career path. However, the decision for doing a doctorate was more serendipitous
than a calculated choice. I was offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the form of TROSS
scholarship for studies leading to doctorate in USA. However I have realized that all things
happen for a reason, and generally if you are honest and true to your commitments, Allah leads
you in the best possible direction. Thus, half-way through my PhD I realized that I would never
have been happy with a job; both due to my natural inclination for research and teaching and
perhaps most importantly the independence that it provides.”
“My TROSS scholarship needed some government officer to sign up as a guarantor that I shall
return at the end of my PhD. I approached a very close relative who held that position. I was
stunned when he refused to sign, pointing out to cases where people reneged on their
commitments. At that moment I made the solemn oath to make sure I don't fall into that
category, and return and serve out my contract. I think that was a pivotal moment as I realized
the need to always have strong principals to live by and never sacrifice them for short term
gains. InshAllah, I will be returning July 2010 to fulfill this commitment. “

back starting my career as a Field Engineer.”

Hammad Cheema DE 20 EE
“My schooling was done in Karachi and intermediate in Lahore. Despite a number of doctors in my
family I always had a passion for engineering and NUST's 3.5 yr program became an obvious choice
as UET in those days consumed 5-6 yrs for a BE degree. Immediately after BE in 2002 from CEME,
I joined Motorola GTSS Lahore but at the same time I was offered a scholarship by NUST for
Master studies at Technical University of Denmark (DTU), with which NUST had signed a MOU.
Left with the usual quandary of industry vs. post-graduate studies, I opted for the latter as it provided
me the continuity in studies. After completion of MSc in telecommunication in 2004, I joined MCS,
NUST as faculty member where I taught for a semester. By that time, I was enthusiastic to pursue an
academic career and therefore, proceeded for a PhD in 2005 to Eindhoven University of Technology
in The Netherlands. My PhD research was related to Analog and RF circuit design for millimeter
wave applications with special focus on 60 GHz frequency band. Alhamdulillah, I defended my
PhD in January 2010 and now planning to return to a constituent college of NUST with CEME as a
preference.”

Fahd Mumtaz DE 22 MTS
“After graduating in 2004, I pursued higher education and completed my MS and PHD in 2006 and
2009 respectively. Since then, I am a member of the faculty of electrical engineering department of
the college. I chose this career because I had a decent academic record and communication skills, so I
think teaching came natural to me. I strongly recommend this career path for fresh graduates since
highly trained human resource in technology will establish our self reliance which will be
instrumental in safeguarding our sovereignty as a nation.”
Dr. Fahd has been awarded presidents gold medal in both undergrad as well as masters degree. His CGPA in
PhD thesis was also 4.0 and his Doctoral thesis was widely appreciated. He has several journal and conference
publications to his credit.
“Well the turning point of my life was when my interaction started with my PHD supervisor Dr.
Mohammad Bilal Malik and Dr. Khalid Munawwar. Both of them are through professionals and
outstanding researchers, furthermore they are extremely inspiring personalities. It was because of
them that I got focused and found direction in my life.” Editor’s Personal note: He is a great teacher and

“I am a PhD student in Electrical Engineering at Georgia Tech and have completed my MS in EE Ali Hassan DE 22 EE
from University of Stuttgart, Germany. I was always inspired by the world of innovation that
brought me to make my career in research and development. After leaving EME College and having
a worthwhile experience at CARE, I found that I am really inclined towards research which finally
ended in applying to different universities for the MS and then for the PhD degree. Though yet, I
don't have a flashing milestone to share, but I am hoping that the coming years will really bring my
dreams to reality once I complete my doctorate. Some of the major ones after leaving EME are:
Ÿ Won overall best project in 3rd All Pakistan inter university Software Competition for the
project RealTime Image Based Tracking (senior year project).
Ÿ Selected for prestigious “Ferienakademie 2006”, a summer program for competitively selected
students from top German universities, to participate in research activities in Italy.
Ÿ Awarded MS in Electrical Engineering from University of Stuttgart with highest honors.
Ÿ Authored 15 refereed publications in IEEE conferences and journals.
Ÿ Awarded numerous travel grants from IEEE COMSOC, Georiga Tech, NUST and HEC
Pakistan.”
Faheem Razzaq DE 23 ME
“Like every other child, I had dreams of my own. I always wanted to be a fighter pilot but at the same
time imagined myself as an Engineer. Sometimes I thought that I will design cars and other times I
used to look at myself as a Software Engineer. I was also interested in the electronics and computers.
May be I wanted to do all of the above as the imagination had no limits and reality was not a barrier
then. These were the same fantasies through which every kid travels in the innocent years of
childhood. ”I joined Cadet College Batrasi in 1996. Time is quick and very soon I found myself in a
situation, where a final decision was to be made. It was 1999 when I passed matriculation exams. I
don't know how but eventually I worked out that I prefer to be an Engineer rather than flying fighter
jets. It felt pointless to be in Cadet College from there on and came back to Rawalpindi where I got
admitted to Fauji Foundation College. Successfully completed the Intermediate with a very tough task
ahead, which was to get in to the top engineering university. I still feel very proud of the moment when
I received acceptance letter from NUST in 2001. I really felt that dreams are in reach and they can be a
reality.
“Spent three and a half years at E&ME College and again trying to decide that in which field of Mechanical Engineering I really
want to end up. Luckily I had an opportunity to take on internships in the oil sector. I had two internships, first one with the
Schlumberger and the other with Halliburton. These really helped me to reach a decision. Main factors which attracted me to the oil
sector were technological challenges, diversity of people, global economic impacts and brighter financial prospects.”

Farhan Shafiq DE 24 CE
“I did BE CE in 2006. After that I went for Msc in SoC Design from KTH Sweden. And after a brief
industrial experience in Germany, soon I will be starting my Phd. As far as factors and reasons are
concerned, I suppose I always wanted to pursue a career in research, although I wasn't planning on
going for a Phd. But as they say
“Mujhey kissi bhi tayyaun pe nahin hey ikhtiar
“Ye koi aur mere raaste badalta hey”
So here I am going for a Phd very soon. InshAllah.”

institutions offer this facility because
students must not be forced to decide their
career paths when they are eighteen years
old.
Other than this, the more practical exposure
our students have the better equipped they
will be to face the challenges of professional
world. We need to squeeze in as many labs
as we can in the curricula and we must work
hard towards designing lab assignments
based on skills required for being a
professional engineer.

Dr. Mukarram Raheel

I feel that labs at E&ME need more
improvement. It is important to make students
work in the labs as much as possible so they
can see how things work. I would encourage
NUST to spend heavily in developing labs not
only for undergraduate students but for R&D
at graduate level. I have taught US students at
undergraduate level and noticed that they are
very good with hardware. I think NUST
students are much stronger in theory, but we
need to create workmanship in our engineers.
The faculty does an outstanding job at
teaching theory and computer work, but
students don't get enough practical exposure.
They end up developing a habit of writing nice
technical reports and get excellent grades but
miss the whole point. I encourage the faculty
to give the students projects that create an
impact in society e.g., developing hardware to
get power to remote villages using renewable
energy resources etc. Don't ask them to write
reports, ask them to come up with prototypes
that actually work. A final year project is not
enough because it comes at a stage when
student wants to get done and move on in life.
They should be given practical projects since
the first semester and helped to become
creative engineers.
We must train our young ones to be the best contributors of society as NUST is one of
the best institutes in Pakistan and I am willing to help in all regards in order to make
them practical oriented by arranging internship of our undergrads in the industry.
Secondly, to make them compete with the best authors and researchers we must run
training courses of latest packages. Most importantly Meta Analysis, SPSS ver 17,
Power and Precision, Minitab, Matlab, I assure the change will be felt in our students in
a few months by becoming proficient in these software. Seminar on how to write
research papers and how to do research must be conducted at EME College apart from
robotics and electronic seminars. I can also manage to come over to assist and guide my
young ones. We can request Dr. Ali Sajjid, who can arrange even better researchers from
all over Pakistan to come and guide these golden hearts.
The role of the academy is to incubate the wildest flight of fancy and help brew the
revolutionary ideas that shake the earth. The faculty of an educational institution should
strive to cultivate boundless freedom of thought among students, facilitated by the
administration whose job is to ensure a fertile breeding ground.
NUST has been doing a pretty good job within its constraints and is comparable to other
good universities in the region with enormous potential for the future and comparing it
with US universities won't really be a fair comparison given the difference in academic
cultures, resources, etc.

Since hardly any of it gets publicity, fresh
graduates do not consider NESCOM to be a great
facility (unfortunately).

Abu Bakr Nisar: I think in the media age we live in

today, it would be hard to guess what sort of work is
done in NESCOM. But, still we are bound by moral
and security reasons not to reveal the exact details.
NESCOM is one of the elite organizations of Pakistan
that employs engineers from all technologies and is
actively engaged in development activities related to
all disciplines. Research is a misleading word as it is
mainly associated with work done in universities.
NESCOM has thousands of professional engineers
working on various projects and are developing
solutions that deal with problems of multiple
dimensions.
