Faculty Profile

Syed Saad Farooq
Lecturer
MS Mechanical Engineering, Ph.D. (in progress)

He has a strong background in dealing with mechanical systems for its control and optimization. He is proficient in MATLAB having research work in numerical computations using evolutionary algorithms. His software expertise includes C/C++, Visual C, Arduino IDE, CNC programming, AutoCAD, PROTEUS, MSC ADAMS, PLC Programming, Assembly Language programming (PIC 18F452), ANSYS and many other routine software.

Moreover, he has supervised several BS final year projects tilted “Generation and Utilization of electric power through speed humps”, “Design and analysis of paint spraying robot”, “Design of autonomous air duct cleaning explorer robot”, “Fabrication of robotic grasper for spherical objects”, “Development and performance evaluation of solar tracking system”, “Design of automatic storage and retrieval systems”, Design and fabrication of exploration rover for sample collection and also serving as FYP coordinator since 2017. In addition, he has won NGIRI-2023-17565 (national funding) for BS FYP ‘Design and fabrication of CNC machine’ which was later re designed to enhance 3 DOFs to 5 DOFS.
