Ayaz Ali Khan Successfully Defended His Ph.D
Ayaz
Ali Khan has successfully defended his Ph.D. dissertation on March 18,
2021. According to two foreign and two internal examiners, his thesis was
technically sound, well written, and has significant novelty. I was delighted
when the examiners appreciated his efforts by noting that they found Ayaz’s
thesis one of the most technically sound amongst those they evaluated, for
other universities, in the past. The title of his thesis was "Energy
and Performance Efficient Resource Management in Containerized Datacenters".
During his Ph.D. duration, he has published 11 research papers
in well-reputed, CORE ranked, transactions and journals, making a
total Impact Factor of 50+. Furthermore, his thesis document has
appeared in the following 7 REGULAR publications.
1) An
energy and performance aware consolidation technique for containerized
datacenters, Transactions on Cloud Computing, IEEE [IF
7.928]
2) H2 -

National Research Program For Universities (Call For Proposals)
NRPU is a flagship Research
Program of HEC for funding research grants on competitive merit for
high-quality and promising scientific research projects that demonstrate
strategic relevance and cast impact to the local industry and society. The
program is open for contributions related to both basic and applied research.
NRPU aims to stimulate scientific excellence and the advancement of knowledge
by allowing researchers the freedom to formulate by themselves the research
concept and method.
The NRPU grant awards will be
made to the host higher education institution of the lead academic – faculty –
associated with the project, and administered through the appropriate ORIC on
campus. Principal Investigator should be a faculty member at higher education
institution in Pakistan and encouraged to submit proposals that are
collaborative in scope, with teams including junior and senior academic staff,
both male and female researchers and appropriate sectoral/ industrial
collaborators. PIs are also encouraged to include students as part of the
project team who have worked on the academic research underpinning the NRPU
proposal.
Call for proposals for the National
Research Program for Universities (2021-2022) is
now open.
Applications can be submitted through
online portal research.hec.gov.pk
