Dr. Muhammad Adeel Ahmed Pasha’s work revolves around implementation of novel computer architectures on VLSI systems, including efficient deployment of machine learning algorithms. This is a beautiful merging together of algorithm and hardware. The hardware design also follows a highly technical algorithm. Such systems are at the lower edge of miniaturized devices and foray into the realm of post-Moore electronic architectures. It is important that these systems remain reconfigurable, parallelizable, draw minimal power and are robust and fault tolerant.

His work focuses on these very aspects. Besides, Dr. Adeel has considered several notable applications for these devices, e.g., in smart energy grids and internet-of-things (IoT) technologies. Therefore, the research output straddles from architecture to applications, from concept to devices---truly outstanding. 

His research in embedded systems, very-large-scale-integration (VLSI) systems and low-power architectures, has been termed as “revolutionary” and “ground-breaking”. With eighteen journal publications (including about four submitted articles) in the world’s topmost journals associated with the ACM and IEEE and two book chapters, notably one published in the Lecture Notes for Computer Science series, Dr. Adeel’s work is inspiring.

Dr. Adeel Pasha’s striking characteristic is his ability to teach both theory and laboratory courses, especially computer architectures, embedded systems and digital systems design. He has excelled in teaching too and was recipient of the Department's Distinguished Teacher Award. At the moment, he is also leading the EE Department's efforts in industrial liaison and partnerships.
