Senior Research Fellow
Jeju National University February 2021 - November 2021

I worked as a Senior Research Fellow in the department of Mechatronics Engineering at Jeju National University. During my time there, I was actively involved in conducting research in the field of Soft Robotics. Additionally, I was tasked with teaching several courses such as Advanced Printed Electronics and Modelling and Control of Robotics.  My responsibilities included designing and fabricating Soft Robots, which involved the creation of flexible electronics like soft strain, pressure, and humidity sensors. I also had the opportunity to work on developing a LabVIEW and myRIO based platform for Organ on a Chip modules. Finally, I also had the chance to work on a project involving Memristors. Overall, my time at Jeju National University was a valuable experience that allowed me to gain practical knowledge and hands-on experience in several areas of research and teaching.

Work Experience
Assistant Professor
Sukkur IBA University November 2021 - Present

I am currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Sukkur IBA University. In my role, I am responsible for designing modules related to Robotics. Specifically, I have designed an Introduction to Robotics course, which was offered to undergraduate students for the first time. Additionally, I have developed courses for postgraduate students, including Robot Mechanics and Control, Swarm Robotics, and Bioinspired Robotics. In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I am involved in different department’s committees as member/coordinator focusing on curriculum design, students’ development and technical events design and organization.  I am also involved in research. Specifically, I lead the Advanced Micro Mechatronics and Energy Lab, which is a multi-disciplinary research group focused on the development of flexible sensors, soft robotics, and next-generation batteries.
