In a world where security is paramount, the ability to protect personal information is constantly evolving. At SBASSE, a team of talented computer science researchers has uncovered a vulnerability in smartphone technology that could change the way we think about privacy.
The paper, "Glitch in Time: Exploiting Temporal Misalignment of IMU for Eavesdropping," has just been accepted to AsiaCCS 2025 (Core Rank A), a prestigious conference in the field of cybersecurity. With a competitive acceptance rate of only 15% in Cycle 1, this marks a significant achievement for the team, composed of Dr. Naveed Anwar Bhatti, Ahmed Najeeb, Abdul Rafay, and Dr. Muhammad Hamad Alizai.
What began as a simple class project for CS 677 in 2023 quickly turned into a journey of discovery. Ahmed and Abdul, both passionate about technology, set out to replicate existing research aimed at reconstructing audio from mobile accelerometer data. Their breakthrough came when they introduced a clever twist—misaligning the timing between the smartphone’s gyroscope and accelerometer. This allowed the gyroscope data to enhance the accelerometer data, making it possible to reconstruct voice commands at a lower sampling rate, all without requiring user permissions.
This discovery has profound implications for smartphone security. The ability to "listen" to your voice assistant commands without consent—using just two sensors at a sampling rate as low as 200 Hz—poses a major privacy risk. The vulnerability comes from the fact that these sensors don’t require user permission to operate at low rates, making them an ideal target for exploitation.
After months of hard work, the project blossomed into a senior-year SProj and was submitted to AsiaCCS 2025 in August 2024. The team's work has now earned them a place in one of the world’s top cybersecurity forums, where their research will undoubtedly inspire further innovations.
Dr. Naveed shares his pride, saying, “We can’t help but feel proud of Ahmed and Abdul, who poured their heart and soul into this project.”
Ahmed, now pursuing his PhD at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), and Abdul Rafay, who is continuing his academic journey as a Teaching Fellow in CS at LUMS, have “both proven that with dedication and creativity, the boundaries of what is possible in technology can be pushed even further.”
Congratulations to the team on their groundbreaking success!

Dr. Nauman Zaffar Butt in the Electrical Engineering department leads our efforts on photovoltaics which has now crossed over into the realm of agriculture, to produce the budding field of agrivoltaics. Powering agricultural farms through solar energy requires creative designs in both the solar cells as well as how solar cells will be integrated into a solar system that can power agri-farms.
Dr. Butt's PhD student Hassan Imran has now produced an amazing body of work that helps achieve both of these tasks. Novel materials, novel designs of the heterofacial structure of solar cells and employing two-dimensional layers of graphene or carbon nano-tubes can boost the performance of solar cells, achieving almost thermodynamically maximum efficiencies. Creative ways to interface silicon based and organic-inorganic solar cell technologies helps achieve the best of both worlds.
Finally, Hassan has mathematically modeled the role of soil and orientation of solar panels, in achieving high efficiency crop yield from solar enhanced farmlands. This work has immense implications for the country which calls for innovative solutions to address critical problems at the food-energy-water confluence.
The quality of his work is evidenced by the four articles published in the world's leading journal on this topic:
- The IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices [here, here, here and here],
- The IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics [here],
- Solar Energy [here] and
- Renewable Energy [here],
- along with several conference proceedings.
The Water-Food-Energy nexus remains one of the six forefront areas being pursued at the Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering.
In the hustle and bustle of Pakistan's…

In the hustle and bustle of Pakistan's healthcare landscape, a silent war is raging, and it's not against a visible foe but rather microscopic troublemakers – antibiotic-resistant microbes.
Antibiotic resistance poses a growing threat to health globally. According to a report by Fleming on Antimicrobial Consumption by 700,000 individuals each year lose their lives to resistant infections. In Pakistan, this issue is exacerbated by a lack of antimicrobial stewardship in hospitals, indiscriminate antibiotic prescriptions, and a surge in respiratory diseases due to polluted air.
Healthcare providers, lacking the much-needed antimicrobial stewardship, are caught in a loop of overreliance on intravenous and oral antimicrobials. It's a revelation that makes you wonder – are we unintentionally brewing a storm of resistance right under our noses?
There's a surprising twist in the narrative of antimicrobial resistance. The air we breathe carries pollutants and potentially acts as a highway for antibiotic-resistant genes. A study by Lancet, a reputed medical journal, reveals a compelling connection between PM 2.5 air pollution and antibiotic resistance. PM 2.5 refers to particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or smaller. As these particles carry bacterial genomic material, inhaling them contributes to incorporating resistant genes into opportunistic pathogens, exacerbating antibiotic resistance.
Analyzing global data from 116 countries between 2000 and 2018, the study estimated that a 10% rise in annual PM 2.5 led to a 1.1% increase in aggregate antibiotic resistance, resulting in approximately 43,654 premature deaths. Regional variations highlighted potential significant increases in antibiotic resistance in Africa and Asia. Notably, for Pakistan, a 10% PM 2.5 elevation was predicted to increase antibiotic resistance by 2.6%.
To tackle this, Dr. Shaper Mirza has been at the forefront of addressing antibiotic resistance in Pakistan. She is actively engaged in projects addressing different facets of antibiotic resistance and stewardship. She participated in development of the first National Action Plan for Antimicrobial Resistance in Pakistan. The initiative involves identifying rates of antimicrobial resistance from a One-Health perspective in Pakistan. This was the first effort of its kind which furnished sufficient data suggesting resistance across all sectors which include human health, animal health and agriculture. The investigation and its outcome led to the development of National Action Plan for AMR in Pakistan. The National Action Plan was implemented in Pakistan in 2017 and currently there are 43 sentinel sites collecting and reporting data on antimicrobial resistance strains. The Situation analysis for National Action Plan was done in collaboration with Global Alliance for Antimicrobial Resistance Partnerships (GARP). The GARP consortium, comprising seven countries, collaborates to exchange knowledge, build capacity, and develop antimicrobial stewardship guidelines.
To improve on stewardship practices, Dr Mirza in collaboration with Pakistan Kidney and Liver Institute (PKLI) developed two courses on adult and pediatric antimicrobial stewardship. Both courses were very well attended both by physicians and basic science researchers working in the field of antimicrobial resistance.
Tips from the experts:
As Pakistan grapples with the dual challenges of smog and antibiotic resistance, practical steps can make a difference. When the air is thick with smog, consider preventive measures like wearing masks, frequent nasal cleaning to minimize pollutant exposure and emphasizing a high-protein diet to bolster immune systems.
While smog-induced respiratory symptoms might initially prompt concern, antibiotics are specifically designed to combat bacterial infections, not viral foes. Viruses, often the culprits behind seasonal respiratory ailments, don't respond to antibiotics. Therefore, before rushing to antibiotics, look for telltale signs of a bacterial infection – persistent high fever, green or discolored mucus, and specific radiological findings in chest X-rays. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional who can guide you on the most effective and responsible course of action. By adopting these practices and following World Health Organization’s (WHO) guidelines for antibiotic usage, we protect ourselves from the smog's impact and contribute to the collective effort to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics for when they're truly needed.
After all, a breath of fresh air should be just that – fresh and invigorating!

Design and Fabrication of Electrode Materials For Their Applications in Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis
Abstract:Anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) combines the advantages of both alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) and proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). However, nickel-based catalysts used in AEMWE undergo problems of low activity and poor stability as compared to precious metal based catalysts. Hence, the development of highly efficient OER and HER electrocatalysts is pivotal to enhance the AEMWE performance as it significantly impacts the overall efficiency of hydrogen production by lowering the energy required to split water, making the process more cost-effective, and enabling the use of cheaper, non-precious metal catalysts. A brief introduction to electrochemical water splitting technologies with a special focus on current challenges, design strategies, reaction mechanism, and recent developments of electrocatalysts for AEMWE in Prof. Yuan’s group (SCCE, SJTU) will be covered in this talk.
Dr. Rizwan Haider received his Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), Shanghai, China in Sep. 2023.

ڈاکٹر عفان: LUMS سے FDA تک کامیابی کا سفر
علم و تحقیق کی دنیا میں، کچھ افراد اپنی شاندار کامیابیوں کی وجہ سے ہی نہیں بلکہ ان کے حصول کی تگ و دو میں درپیش سفر کی وجہ سے بھی نمایاں ہوتے ہیں۔ ڈاکٹر عفان رزاق، لاہور یونیورسٹی آف مینجمنٹ سائنسز (لمز )کے ایک شاندار سابقہ طالب علم ہیں، جن کی کہانی شوق، ثابت قدمی، اور اختراع کے جذبے کا عملی مظاہرہ کرتی ہے۔ اپنی نہایت سادہ شروعات سے لے کر فیڈرل ڈرگ ایجنسی (ایف ڈی اے) میں ملازمت تک ، ڈاکٹر عفان کا سفر قابل رشک اور تقلید ہے۔
ڈاکٹر عفان کا تعلیمی سفر لمز سے شروع ہوا، جہاں انہوں نے سید بابر علی اسکول آف سائنس اینڈ انجینئرنگ (ایس ایس ای) سے برقی انجینئرنگ میں ماسٹرز ڈگری حاصل کی۔یہیں ڈاکٹر عفان نے کنٹرول سسٹمز اور خاص طور پر بین المضامینی اطلاقات میں اپنی دلچسپی کو دریافت کیا۔ خاص طور پر لمز میں ان کی ہائیڈرولوجیکل سسٹمز پر مبنی تحقیق نے ان کے مستقبل کے ارادوں کی بنیاد رکھی ۔
لمز میں بیتائے گئے اپنے وقت کا ذکر کرتے ہوئے، ڈاکٹر عفان اس تبدیلی کے تجربے کو بڑے شوق سے یاد کرتے ہیں جس نے روایتی حدود سے ہٹ کر کنٹرول سسٹمز کے ممکنہ استعمال پر ان کے نقطہ نظر کو وسیع کیا۔ جرمنی کی یونیورسٹی، ٹی یو کائزرلاوٹرن، میں ایک مختصر مدت سمیت جدید تحقیق اور بحرانی تعاون کے منصوبوں نے ان کے تجسس کو بڑھایا اور انہیں علمی فضیلت کی راہ پر گامزن کیا۔
معاشرتی مسائل کو اپنے علم سے حل کرنے کے جذبے سےسرشار، ڈاکٹر عفان نے امریکن یونیورسٹی آف لوئی ویل ، امریکہ، میں علمی سفر شروع کیا۔ ڈاکٹر تامر انانک کی رہنمائی میں ان کا تحقیقی کام گردے کی دائمی بیماری کی خصوصیات اور دواؤں کی خوراک کی تشکیل پر مبنی تھا، جس نے ان کے مستقبل کے کام کو شکل دینے میں مدد کی۔
ان کے راستے میں کئی رکاوٹیں آئیں، جیسے کہ کووڈ-١٩ کے وبائی زمانے میں آن لائن تعلیم کے نظام اور مریض کے ڈیٹا کی کمی، لیکن اس کے باوجود ڈاکٹر عفان کی محنت اور استقامت برقرار رہی۔ مریضوں کے ورچوئل ماڈلز اور جدید تحقیقاتی طریقوں کا فائدہ اٹھاتے ہوئے، انہوں نے اپنی تحقیق میں نمایاں پیش رفت کی، جس کے نتیجے میں انہیں اشاعت کا ایک شاندار ریکارڈ اور اپنی اہم شراکت کے لیے باوقار ایوارڈ حاصل ہوئے۔
ڈاکٹر عفان کے موثر ترین تحقیقاتی منصوبوں میں سے ایک دواؤں کی انفرادی خوراک کے لیے ایک ماڈلنگ اور کنٹرول فریم ورک تیار کرنے پر مرکوز ہے، جو خاص طور پر گردے کی دائمی بیماری اور وارفارن کے انتظام سے منسلک ہے۔ ان کا کام نہ صرف ذاتی ڈوزنگ پمپس کے ذریعے صحت کی دیکھ بھال کی فراہمی میں انقلاب لانے کی حامی بھرتا ہے بلکہ انسانی زندگی کے معیار کو بڑھانے میں کنٹرول سسٹم کی صلاحیت کو بھی اجاگر کرتا ہے۔
اپنے تعلیمی سفر کی زینت بننے والی تعریفوں اور اعزازات کے ساتھ، ڈاکٹر عفان کی نئی ایف ڈی اے میں پوسٹ-ڈاکٹریٹ کی پوزیشن قبول کر کے ایک نیا موڑ لیا۔ دواؤں کے ردعمل کو سمجھنے کے لیے ریاضیاتی ماڈل تیار کرنے کی ان کی اولین ترجیح، ان کی سابقہ تحقیق سے نہ صرف ہم آہنگ بلکہ اصولی فیصلوں اور دواؤں کی منظوری کے عمل پر وسیع اثرات کی حامل بھی ہے۔
ڈاکٹر عفان اپنے سفر کو مد نظر رکھتے ہوئے، محققین اور انجینئرز کو ایک قیمتی مشورہ دیتے ہیں: اچھے استاد ڈھونڈیں، تجسس کو قبول کریں، اور سمجھ کے مشکلات کا حل نکالیں۔ ان کا منتر ”اچھا کریں، چاہے اثر ہو یا نہ ہو“ ان کی مہارت کو انسانیت کی بہتری کے لیے استعمال کرنے کا اظہار کرتا ہے۔
لمز کی تاریخ میں، ڈاکٹر عفان ایک روشن مثال ہیں، جو تعلیم، رہنمائی، اور کامیابی کی ایک عمدہ مثال ہیں۔ ایس ایس ای کے کمرہ جماعت سے لے کر ایف ڈی اے تک، ڈاکٹر عفان کا سفر ان لوگوں کی بے پناہ صلاحیتوں کی عکاسی کرتا ہے جو خواب دیکھنے کی ہمت کرتے ہیں اور دنیا کو بہتر بنانے کی کوشش میں مگن رہتے ہیں۔
علم و تحقیق کی دنیا میں، کچھ افراد اپنی شاندار کامیابیوں کی وجہ سے ہی نہیں بلکہ ان کے حصول کی تگ و دو میں درپیش سفر کی وجہ سے بھی نمایاں ہوتے ہیں۔ ڈاکٹر عفان رزاق، لاہور…
