Dr. Ashfaq Ahmad received his MS and PhD degree in computer Science form Abdul wali khan University Mardan, KPk, Pakistan. Earlier he obtained his BS degree in computer science form university of Peshawar. His area of interest includes Machine Learning, deep Learning, and bioinformatics. Moreover, he has more than 10 years of academic, research & management skills. During his PhD he worked in the direction of interface of deep learning, machine learning, image processing and some emerging data-rich areas such as bioinformatics. He published more than ten research papers in the reputed Q1 journals.

He also take interest in theoretically sound and empirically efficient evolutionary and machine learning algorithms to analyze, understand, and develop computational models on high volumes of multidimensional and heterogeneous data. Furthermore, he developed and novel deep learning and machine learning based models using the massive sets of biological sequences for addressing a specific challenging problem by taking full advantage of domain-specific knowledge.
