1. Past and present field of study（これまでの専攻分野）

I am Electrical undergraduate, recently I completed my Bachelor degree in electrical engineering

in electronics and communication with 3.717/4 CGPA which is almost equivalent to the 92.5 %. I

completed my higher secondary school with 81.45%. I have been excellent in academics

throughout my career. I like to define myself as a multitalented person who takes extreme interest

in everything good that life has to offer. My cumulative grade in B.Sc. in electrical engineering

3.708/4 is prove of my efforts. From reading all sorts of literature to exercising all types of sports,

there haven’t been many activities that I have missed and yet I excelled in most of them. My

hobbies include activities that inspire creative pursuits: mountaineering, running, book reading,

football, music composing, creative writing and problem solving activities. Since young age, I

have taken great interest in solving puzzles and sought solutions to uncertain realities. This led

me to involve myself deeply in Mathematics and I chose the career of Engineering. My

-1-
great attachment to Physics and Advanced Mathematics made me seek the program of Electrical

Engineering after graduating High School. Currently, being an Electrical Engineer, I intend to

pursue further studies to specialize in Information Technology and aspire to use my research and

technical expertise to join professional grounds in tackling great challenges this century has to offer.

During my undergraduate studies I worked in the fields of control, embedded systems and power

electronics. I also have three publications in IEEE conferences, one of them is in controls and

embedded systems and the other two are in power electronics. My first project was autonomous

firefighting robot. In that project we installed fire alarm sponsors at different locations, those

sensors sense fire and wirelessly send it to my robot and then the robot navigates the

location through GPS and extinguish the fire. My second controls system project was

prosthetic arm with self-charging capability. In our project we designed EMG sensors and installed

it on human hand these sensors read the EMG signals and amplifies it and passes through different

filters, the filters filter the signals, the signals were further refined using MATLAB and

send to it Arduino controller and the controller generates the controls signal

and send the actuation system, The actuation system was designed solid works

and 3D printed. Our system also has self-charging capability, for self-charging we

installed Piezo-electric generators in shoes. These piezo electric generators charge a battery which

is used to operate the prosthetic arm.

My publications are:

i) “Design and Development of EMG Controlled Prosthetic Limb with the Self-Charging

Capability”.

ii) “Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) in Pakistan: Effects and Way Forward”

iii) “Economic viability of in-house DC system in Pakistan”

To enhance my knowledge in the field of Electrical Engineering I am currently working as Lab

Engineer in National University of sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad were I teach

different labs to undergraduate students and help the postgraduate students in

completing their thesis and research assistant in Electronic System Design Automation

Centre Lab at NUST SEECS with Dr. Usman Zabit. These experiences have piqued my interests

in innovation and specialized research, and by expanding myself through the highly

developed research environment in your university combined with my strong enthusiasm

for innovative ideas and entrepreneurship, I yearn to make a difference by providing new

solutions to contemporary problems whereupon required. With my varying interests

in line with new innovative technologies, I think the experience of studying in

your university will be very valuable for me where I can gain exposure on

both research and innovation through diversity. Masters in Electrical Engineering and

Information Technology will allow me to undertake more knowledge of Electrical

Engineering principles and I will have the opportunity to broaden my scope

in Information Technology by providing my skills to the benefit of humanity in

a meaningful way.

I am sure that by working under the supervision of esteemed professors in areas of controls,

embedded and Communication Systems, Digital Signal Processing and Software Engineering shall

enable me to further extend my scholastic pursuits from theoretical to practical. Also

benefiting from the quality approach to research at the host university, I shall be better able to

align my academic research with my objectives of making an impact in global

sustainability. I am certain that having acquire relevant skills in my bachelors and

knowledge gained through relevant projects make me well suited for this program.

 2. Research theme and plan in Japan（渡日後の研究テーマ及び研究計画）
Describe articulately the research theme and plan you wish to carry out in Japan. Specify particularly the ultimate goal(s) of your research in

Japan.（日本において希望する研究テーマ及び研究計画を明確に記入すること。特に研究の最終目標を具体的に記入すること。）

(1) Research theme（研究テーマ）

As I mention above my present field of study is BSc Electrical engineering with specialization in

the field of electronics and communication system. And I want to continue my master in electrical

engineering in the field of embedded system which is the hot topic of today in the research field.

System-on-chip (SoC) is now become the demand of market which is develop by different CMOS

technology.in this multiple system mounted on the single chip which address to various challenges

and demand of industrial and educational institutions. Important factor while

dealing with SoC, Cost-effective technologies, efficient Software/hardware architecture

related to IP Based EDA method. Due to exponential increasing CMOS mask costs,

essential aspects for the industry are now flexibility and adaptivity of SoCs, which can be realized

by integrating reconfigurable re-usable hardware parts on different granularities into Configurable

Systems-on-Chip (CSoCs). In this field the chip designing is huge field because the world shifted

towards the electronics and Internet of thing. In the current scenario of the world everyone

wants to have high speed devices which is possible by improvement in the chips and power

consumption is another major issue in the world so all the researcher try to design chips having fast

response and minimum use of power.

(2) Research plan（研究計画）

Problem Statement:

• Runtime monitoring of multi core systems

• Time triggered monitoring

• Power aware monitoring

• Accelerating technology-based monitoring

Background:

Increasing industrial demands for high speed and more efficient systems are resulting in increased

number of cores that are being integrated on a Chip. Their performance is further improved by

implementing pipeline that simultaneously executes multiple processes. Safety critical domains like

precision industries and avionics apply these paradigms under strict regulations. Increased number

of cores grows the cost-effectiveness. One of the ways to increase the cost-efficiency of such

System on Chip (SoC) is to enhance the way the SoC handles its power resources. By increasing

the power efficiency, the reliability of the SoC is raised because the lifetime of the battery lengthens.

Secondly, by reducing energy consumption, the emitted heat is reduced in the SoC which reduces

cooling devices. Though energy efficiency has been thoroughly researched, there is no application

of those power saving methods in safety critical domains yet.

Aim and Vision:

The EU project SAFEPOWER targets this research gap and aims to introduce certifiable methods

to improve the power efficiency of mixed-criticality real-time systems. Runtime monitoring is a

method to ensure the proper working of the multi core systems. Runtime monitoring includes

time-triggered monitoring, power-aware monitoring, and accelerator technology for monitoring. I

want to research in this area. I would like to develop techniques of formal method to verify the

systems with higher number of cores.

Expected Outcomes:

• Efficiency enhancement of chips through power optimization

• Battery life increment

• Reduction in cooling devices thereby presenting a cost effective solution
