I am Nabila Ahmad, lecturer in computer engineering department at NUTECH University. With over 7 years of academic experience, my primary research interests lie in the field of optimization, control and management in microgrids.
Academia
- Ph.D. in Energy Systems Engineering, NUST H-12, Islamabad (2018 - Present)
- M.S. in Computer Engineering, CEME NUST, Islamabad (2017)
- B.Sc. in Computer Engineering, UET Peshawar (2013)
I have published multiple papers in peer-reviewed top-tier journal and conferences.
My research focuses on optimization, control and management in microgrids using meta-heuristic algorithms.
