Summary
As a Professor of Econometrics at Pakistan's prestigious National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST), I specialize in transforming complex data into actionable insights. With a Ph.D. in Econometrics from the International Islamic University and 17 years of experience, my expertise spans the rigorous application of econometric modeling, simulations, and data analytics to address real-world challenges. My work focuses on bridging the gap between theory and practice, developing quantitative methodologies for public policy and commercial applications. I have a proven track record of guiding high-impact research, from econometric modeling for demand forecasting in the private sector to causal analysis for public health and economic studies. Proficient in a range of advanced analytical tools, including MATLAB, R, and STATA, I am dedicated to mentoring the next generation of researchers and driving data-driven solutions.
