Title: Characterization of the Modal Behavior of Liquid Core Waveguides. • Integrated CCD monochrome camera to record and analyze the speckle patterns created by lasers. • Created a plugin in C++ to measure the correlation of speckle patterns. • Characterized the liquid core waveguide on the basis of temperature, mechanical stress, and refractive index change using C++.

• Developed an industrial measurement system for 3D shapes and deformation measurement using C++. • Inspected micro-products according to industry-standard using computer vision in C++. • Built plugins for integration and automation of Laser Devices and Cameras in third-party software "FringeProcessor". • Maintained and updated frontend GUI for image processing analysis. • Extracted focused areas from raw images using OpenCV in C++.

Title: Development of Liquid Core Waveguide using Additive Manufacturing. • Engineered cost-effective liquid core waveguides models for bio and chemical sensors. • Designed the models using AutoCAD. • Manufactured the models using a 3D printer in a "Clean Room". • Applied post-processing on the printed models.

• Worked as a software developer in the EU-funded project "OG10 - ADE" (Autonomous Decision Making in Very Long Traverses). • Upgraded the MARS (Machine Art Robotic Simulation) simulator for better visualization of the environment of planet Mars. • Refactored and fixed bugs in the simulation environments of the existing MARS software. • Implemented and executed tests to check the different functionalities of the simulations. • Created simulation environment based on data gathered from robots on planet Mars.

• Promoted Pakistani culture internationally in the city of Bremen. • Provided a network for the easy integration of Pakistani students into the city of Bremen. • Organized and hosted several cultural events to portray Pakistani culture internationally.

• Directed lecture tutorials and administered all aspects of teaching assistantship, including designing quizzes, assignments, and marking them. • Assisted junior students with assignments and projects in Verilog and VHDL.

• Designed the internal panel for tanks using PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design using the software "Eagle". • Documented the entire technical process and verified the data schematics.

• Attained and applied knowledge in robotics, intelligent integrated systems, internet of things, microsystems, sensors, and measurement systems, nonlinear systems, speech and audio signal processing, discrete systems, microsystems. • Highly proficient in English (C2 Level – near-native proficiency) and working towards a B1 Level proficiency in German.

• Gained and applied knowledge in C++ programming, machine learning, differential equations, probability, computer, and logic design, digital signal processing, optoelectronics, feedback control system, and microprocessor interfacing to create an autonomous “Smart Pashto Digit Recognition System using Machine Learning”. • Awarded best project of the state; received full funding by Ji-Peshawar Youth Festival. • Graduated on Dean’s list of Honor for achieving CGPA of 3.5 GPA (1.6 German GPA).
