Dr. Syed Talha Ali Hamdani
Associate Professor
Dr. Hamdani received his doctoral degree from The University of Manchester, UK, in 2014. During his Ph.D., he worked on a European-funded project (HARKEN) for the development, characterization, and optimization of textile-based cardio-respiratory sensors for automobile applications. He received patent rights for a system and method of manufacturing socks for health monitoring in the United States of America. He has also worked for a few private companies, including NEXT, PLC, UK, and Mahmood Group of industries. He joined National Textile University as an Assistant Professor on Tenure Track System in the year 2015 and promoted to Tenured Associated Professor in 2021. Since his joining, he is actively engaged in research, teaching, and several academic-administrative positions. He served as Chairman Department of the Weaving for two years and as Chairman Department of Knitting for one year at National Textile University. Currently, he is working as Coordinator of Outcome Based Education, Member Departmental Board of studies, faculty board of studies, and a member of several other committees. He is the pioneer in Pakistan to start a shark tank program from the platform of the DICE Textile Innovation Center. He has helped several students and faculty members to realize their idea into practice. He also worked for National Innovation Basket for the development of Textile Research policy to help the Government of Pakistan to streamline its direction. He has also played a significant role in establishing the Center of Excellence in Compressed Air (CECA) for bridging the knowledge gap in compressed air among students and industrial professionals by providing them regular training and certification courses. He has received several letters of appreciation due to his dedication to work.
He focused his research work, including journal publication and books/chapters with the knowledge and skills acquired during his undergraduate study (Weaving technology and Woven Structures) and Ph.D. thesis (smart textiles). He has contributed for more than twenty-five (25) research articles and three (03) books/book chapters. He wrote a book on Structural Textile Design, Interlacing and Interlooping as an Editor. He has won Rs. 15.95 million research funding as Principal Investigator (PI) and Rs. 225 million research funding under the Grand Challenge Fund (GCF) by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan as CoPI. He has brought more than Rs. 13 million funds from various industries for organizing conferences and research projects executed at National Textile University Faisalabad, NED University Karachi, Government College University for Women Faisalabad, and Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan. He has supervised more than 30 BS/MS/Ph.D. He has participated more than fifteen (15) national and international conferences for oral presentation and invited talk, including as a keynote speaker. He has organized more than thirty (30) workshops/training, and conferences.
