Brief Profile

I am a Professor at the University of Kashmir. I have twenty-four years of experience teaching courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels in computational electronics and about five years of industrial experience in computer training, consultations, servicing, and repairing electronic equipment. I have been heading the PG Department of Electronics and Instrumentation Technology at the University of Kashmir since February 2016 and continue to this day.
I am looking after the Institute of Technology at the Zakura Campus, of the University of Kashmir as Director since April 2024.
I have supervised over 100 PG and UG major projects and 13 PhD and MPhil thesis, edited seven books, published about 200 full-length articles as journal papers, conference proceedings, and book chapters, and nearly 100 presentations in seminars and symposiums. In addition, I have mobilized about INR 7.00 crore through funded research projects and schemes, introduced new academic programs and courses, established laboratories, and installed new equipment.
I have held key administrative and managerial positions, drafted statutes, placement brochures, and accreditation approval documents, and participated in institutional quality assurance, ranking, and admissions.
I have associations with reputed professional academic societies and publishing houses and have organized over ten research events within and outside the country.
I have developed commercial software and Web applications and am proficient in using software for accounting, e-learning, simulations, data analysis, and publishing.
I believe in the emerging approach of education where a teacher presents new information in the context of what students already know and helps them develop understanding and skills through activity and reflection.
I love to explore and experiment with new technology and believe in self-learning, e-learning, life-long learning, and collaborations.
