Dr. Anwar Ahmed Khan
Supervisor: Dr. Sayeed Ghani
Email: aakhan at iba.edu.pk
Fragmentation based prioritization mechanism for heterogeneous traffic in WSN. Developed a novel fragmentation based MAC protocol FROG-MAC which focuses on improving the latency and throughput of high priority traffic. Dr. Anwar Ahmed Khan completed his PhD in August 2020.

 

Dr. Shama Siddiqui
Supervisor: Dr. Sayeed Ghani
Performance analysis of polling-based MAC protocols in WSN. Developed a novel asynchronous adaptive & dynamic polling-based MAC protocol ADP-MAC which functions based on 'polling interval distribution' instead of 'polling interval'. The suggested protocol improved performance of WSN as compared to previously existing SCP-MAC. Dr. Siddiqui completed her PhD in May 2018.

Muhammad Zohaib Akram
Smart Asset Management using WSN & Hybrid networks. Management of Assets through the uses of technology, where the wireless sensors learn and the technology manages and controls the assets going in and out of systems, thus providing stakeholders with a comprehensive view of the system and aiding them in timely decision making. The motivation of the research is to exploit the opportunities that exist in the local market and devise solutions that not only caters to the requirements of the industry with respect to asset management but also to explore the application of technology and Wireless Sensors in the development of a technically sound and commercially viable solutions.
