Admissions Reopened – Phase II (Fall 2026) 🚨

I am pleased to share that Bahria University, Islamabad (H-11 Campus) has reopened admissions for the PhD in Artificial Intelligence under both the Regular PhD Program and the Fully Funded PhD Fellowship Scheme.

If you missed the first admission cycle or were unable to appear in the previous entry test, this is an excellent opportunity to begin your PhD journey in one of the fastest-growing fields of research.

Fully Funded PhD Fellowship Opportunity

I am inviting applications from highly motivated and research-oriented candidates to join my research group under the Fully Funded PhD Fellowship in Artificial Intelligence.

Fellowship Research Theme

Privacy-Preserving Federated Soft Biometrics for Real-Time Covert Urban Surveillance

This research aims to develop next-generation privacy-preserving intelligent surveillance systems capable of understanding human attributes and behaviours using non-intrusive soft biometric traits such as gait, clothing, posture, activity patterns, and crowd dynamics.

The project integrates Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Federated Learning, Edge Computing, Big Data Analytics, Incremental & Distributed Learning, and Human-Centric AI to address real-world challenges in smart cities, urban security, and responsible AI.

International Research Collaboration

The selected fellow will work in collaboration with researchers from London Metropolitan University, United Kingdom, including Dr.

Bilal Hassan (Senior Lecturer AI & Computer Vision), providing opportunities for international research collaboration, joint publications, global academic networking, and potential research visits.

Fellowship Benefits

The fellowship offers:

• Full tuition fee coverage for 3 years

• Monthly stipend of PKR 100,000 for 3 years

• International research collaboration

• High-impact journal and conference publications

• Access to advanced AI laboratories and High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities

• Potential international research exchange opportunities
