Dr. Farooq Ahmad

Dr. Farooq Ahmad has over 20 years of experience in System Engineering and his contributions in the field of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems: 1. MEMS Sensor Technologies: Dr. Ahmad's research is centered around the development of MEMS sensors for various applications, including: Environmental monitoring (sensing gas, pressure, and humidity). Medical diagnostics (biosensors and lab-on-a-chip devices). Wearable electronics (integrating MEMS sensors into fitness trackers, smartwatches, etc.). Given that MEMS sensors are a key part of many industries, Dr. Ahmad has focused on improving the sensitivity, stability, and miniaturization of these sensors for practical applications. 2. MEMS in Energy and Oil & Gas Applications: Given his association with UTP Malaysia, which is well-known for its strong focus on energy and petroleum engineering, Dr. Ahmad's work is involved in the application of MEMS devices in oil and gas. The oil and gas sector often requires highly durable, miniaturized, and real-time monitoring systems, making MEMS a great fit for such applications. 3. Fabrication and Design of MEMS Devices: Dr. Ahmad's expertise includes the development of new MEMS fabrication techniques and materials that make MEMS devices more cost-effective and easier to produce at larger scales. Research into bulk micromachining, surface micromachining and the development of nano-materials for MEMS are also the areas that he is specialized in. 4. Educational Contributions: As an academic, Dr. Farooq Ahmad is also involved in teaching and mentoring students focusing on MEMS design, microelectronics, and related topics in universities like UET Lahore, UOR and UTP Malaysia. His work includes publishing academic papers, conducting research projects, and guiding students in pursuing engineering research in MEMS and related fields. Publications and Research: Dr. Ahmad has published research articles in reputable journals and conferences related to MEMS, such as: IEEE Transections, Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, IEEE Conferences related to the MEMS. He is reviewer of several international Journals and member, technical program committees and reviewer of IEEE Conferences. He is member, Board of Studies, Board of Faculty and Academic Council of several universities.
