I am Shehryar Akbar, a lecturer in the Department of Computer Engineering at NUTECH University. My primary research interests lie in Embedded Systems and Digital Hardware Design. I am passionate about the intersection of HW/SW in digital systems, microprocessor architectures and embedded machine learning. My teaching philosophy centers around providing students with a strong theoretical foundation, while also equipping them with practical skills for the evolving tech landscape.
Lecturer, National University of Technology (2024–Present)
- Teach undergraduate courses in Computer Engineering and Applications of ICT.
- Advise final year students on research projects.
Military Academic Instructor, College of EME, NUST (2020–2021)
- Taught courses related to military vehicles design and integrated systems.
- Provided technical direction to students on engineering projects.
My research focuses on reconfigurable computing and automation of hardware design processes. I am currently working on several projects that apply embedded machine learning techniques to healthcare, as well as design of dedicated AI architectures for optimized, application-specific domains.
