    I received my B.Sc. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology, Peshawar, Pakistan, in 2004 and 2007, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from the Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Topi, Pakistan, in May 2017. Currently, I am working at the University of Engineering & Technology, Mardan, as an Assistant Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department. I am a member of the TeleCoN Research Lab at GIK Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Topi, Pakistan. I am the Editorial Board Member of the “Advances in Wireless Communications and Network”, a Peer-reviewed Journal of Science Publishing Group. I also serve as a Secretary, Institutions of Engineers Pakistan, (IEP), Peshawar, since 2017. I am a member of IEEE since 2016. I serve as a reviewer of numerous peer reviewed journals including IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications Systems, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, IEEE Transactions on Communications, IEEE Access, Ad Hoc Networks, Elsevier, Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, WILEY, Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies. I have published 86 publications in refereed journals with a [Cumulative IF 214.523] including IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology [IF=5.97], IEEE Access [IF=4.098], IET Communications Letters [IF= 3.457], Sensors, MDPI [IF= 3.03], IET Communications [IF= 1.443], Wireless Networks, Springer [IF=1.981], International Journal of Communication Systems, Wiley, [IF=1.717], Physical Communication, Elsevier [IF=1.451], and 11 publications in conference proceedings including IEEE PIMRC’16 (Valencia, Spain), ITNAC’18 (Sydney, Australia), and ERSED’18 (Kingdom of Bahrain). One of my papers received the Best Paper Award from 2nd International Conference on Emerging Research for Sustainable Economic Development (ERSED’18), Kingdom of Bahrain.

    My research is focused on channel modeling, green communications, and interference modeling in Wireless Communications with a particular focus on densification (HetNets), resource management (interference management), spectrum extension (millimeter wave communications) using tools from Stochastic Geometry, ad hoc networks, and optical networks.
