Biography
Prof. Dr. Muhammad Mansoor Alam is a Professor of Computer Science in the Faculty of Computing at Riphah International University, Islamabad. He is also a Visiting Professor in the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Technology Sydney, Australia, and an Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Computing & Informatics at Multimedia University, Cyberjaya, Malaysia, where he supervises post-doctoral researchers.
He earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Laboratoire Informatique, Image et Interaction (L3i), Université de La Rochelle, France, with the distinction Très Honorable, and a second Ph.D. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Universiti Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on error-corrected location determination in outdoor wireless environments. He later completed a post-doctorate at Universiti Kuala Lumpur on machine learning approaches for efficient prediction and decision making. His earlier studies include an MS in Information Systems from the University of Reading, England, and an M.Sc in Computer Science from Preston University, Pakistan.
His academic career spans Pakistan, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Australia and online programmes in the United States. He has served as Dean and Associate Dean of the College of Computer Science and Information Systems at the Institute of Business Management (IoBM), Karachi, Associate Professor and research-cluster head at Saudi Electronic University, and Senior Lecturer at Universiti Kuala Lumpur. He is a recipient of an NRPU research grant (2022), serves as an Editor of International Transactions on Electrical Energy Systems, and reviews for the HEC Quality Assurance Agency.
