EDUCATION PhD, ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING (from summer 2003) University of Texas, Arlington, Texas.

MS, ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING (Spring 2003) University of Texas, Arlington, Texas.

BS, ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING (April 2000) NED University of Engineering and Technology, Karachi, Pakistan.

CURRENT Working at Automation and Robotics Research Institute (ARRI) RESEARCH under the supervision of Dr. Frank Lewis in the area of MEMS. ACTIVITIES Current research projects are “Optical Pressure Sensor” and “Micro Channels for Chip Cooling”.

“ Optical Pressure Sensor” includes fabrication of square membranes on a silicon wafer by wet chemical etching in the Nano Fabrication facility then optically interrogating the vibrating membranes and registering the change in intensity due to the applied pressure. Pressure can also be recorded by interferometery of the reflected light by forming a cavity between the fiber end and the membrane. Finally the pressure sensors will be calibrated and characterized.

The idea behind “Micro Channels for Cooling” is to provide on chip cooling of electronic circuits by fabricating small channels on the back of the chip and passing coolant through it. This project is collaboration between ARRI and UTA Mechanical Engineering Department.
