He has been awarded the highest grade called “très honorable”. According to a press release issued here on Monday, the title of his PhD thesis was “Contribution to the formal specification and verification of multi-agent robotic system.”
The statement quoted Dr Akhtar as saying, “I am highly thankful to my supervisor, co-supervisor, family, colleagues and friends for always encouraging and motivating me, but all credit goes to the HEC for awarding me this scholarship.” Meanwhile, a research article of another HEC scholar Muhammad Waseem Ashraf, who is pursuing the PhD in Microelectronics from Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Bangkok, has been selected among the top 10 best papers published in 2010 in Sensors and Transducer Journal.
The title of article is “Fabrication and Analysis of Tapered Tip Silicon Microneedles for MEMS-based Drug Delivery System”. His second article tilted “Design, Fabrication and Analysis of Silicon Hollow Microneedles for Transdermal Drug Delivery System for Treatment of Hemodynamic Dysfunctions” has been published on the title page of Springer Journal Cardiovascular Engineering and it is among the top most downloaded articles in last three quarters.
