Profile
Dr Zohaib Mushtaq has developed an international academic career at the intersection of electrical engineering and artificial intelligence, shaped by research collaboration across Pakistan and Taiwan and by the practical application of intelligent computational methods to engineering, energy, healthcare, security and environmental challenges.
Research journey
He earned his MS in Electrical Engineering from Government College University Lahore before moving to Taiwan for doctoral study at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. Supported by a fully funded university scholarship, he completed a PhD in Electrical Engineering with a research specialisation in artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning.
His academic journey combines sustained teaching, applied research and postgraduate supervision. In Pakistan, he served for approximately one and a half years as an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at Riphah International University Islamabad. He later spent approximately three and a half years as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical, Electronics and Computer Systems at the University of Sargodha, where he also received a research productivity award.
Dr Mushtaq currently serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Yuan Ze University in Taoyuan, Taiwan.
