Profile

Dr Omer Saleem is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences (FAST-NUCES), Lahore, where he also serves as Director of the Engineering Cybernetics Research Group (ECRG). His research centers on intelligent adaptive control for cyber-physical systems, integrating modern control theory with computational intelligence to develop intelligent machines and self-adaptive engineering systems. He is a registered engineer with PEC and a Senior Member of IEEE.

Dr Saleem received his Bachelor's, Master's, and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering with specialization in Control Systems. His research focuses on intelligent adaptive and optimal control design, with applications in the performance optimization of power converters, disease therapy optimization for physiological systems, and posture stabilization of self-balancing robotic systems. His teaching portfolio spans undergraduate and graduate courses in feedback control systems, robotics and automation, analog electronic circuit design, power electronic converters, industrial process control, linear systems, advanced control systems, biomedical instrumentation, intelligent systems, and computational optimization.

A passionate educator and mentor, Dr Saleem was awarded the Best Teacher Award (Lahore Campus) for the academic year 2024. He has an extensive record of supervising undergraduate and postgraduate research, including competitively funded final year design projects and graduate research theses at the MS and PhD levels. A Ph.D. approved supervisor, Dr. Saleem has authored over 50 impact-factor research publications in leading international journals and conferences. As of 2026, his work has received more than 1,000 Google Scholar citations, reflecting sustained contributions to adaptive control research. He currently serves as a Review Editor for Frontiers in Aerospace Engineering.
