Dr. Omar Usman Khan is the Director Campus and Associate Professor at FAST-NUCES Peshawar. He joined the department in 2014 after completing his Postdoctoral Fellowship under the DyNanoMag project, funded by Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research, where he worked on development of computational tools for spintronic/magnonic devices, working in the field of computational micromagnetics. His broader area of research is scientific and high performance computing, information theory, computational linguistics, wireless networks, modelling and simulation, signal processing, and computational graph theory. He completed his PhD in Control and Computer Engineering from Politecnico di Torino, Italy in 2013 under the supervision of Prof. Carlo Ragusa and Dr. Bartolomeo Montrucchio, and funded by the HEC under the HRDI-UESTP Project. Prior to this, he completed his MS in Computer Systems Engineering from Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute, Swabi in 2008, MS in Distributed Information Systems from Brunel University, UK in 2005, and BE in Computer Systems and Software Engineering from University of Greenwich, UK in 2002. He has 25+ publications in well reputed conferences and impact factor journals such as IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, Journal of Applied Physics, Physica B: Condensed Matter, Journal for Computation and Mathematics in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Computational Intelligence and NeuroScience, and Plos One. He is a regular technical reviewer of many reputable journals, particularly the IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, and has also served as member of program committee of various IEEE conferences. He is also a Program Evaluator for the National Computing and Accreditation Council, Pakistan.
