Dr. Syed Muzzamil Hussain Shah (HEC Approved Ph.D. Supervisor) obtained his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology, Karachi (2010), Master of Science in Civil Engineering from Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia (2014) and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia (2019). His earlier backgrounds are Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering.
His area of research is more focused on the assessment of limiting thresholds for partially submerged non-static vehicles attempting to cross low-lying flood prone regions (sub-critical flows). Dr. Shah has published several Research Articles in reputed journals. He has so far made a few immense achievements by securing Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals through different exhibitions. Further, he has filed Patents, and trademarks and has two Book Chapters, published.
Among professional engineering bodies, Dr. Shah is a member of the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC), Institute of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Australian Water Association (AWA), and UTP Alumni Association.
