Muhammad Saeed packs a lot more energy in his frame than anyone can guess. His biographical data reads like some stuff of dreams. Apparently he imagines something and goes out to get it without fail.
His academic record, to say the least, is impressive. A bachelor’s from University of Karachi, a master’s from LUMS and a doctorate from University of Karachi. As if that was not enough, he has also done some technical courses from prestigious institutions.
Now, as assistant professor at the same university he earned his doctoral degree from, he has carved a life steeped in erudition and academic pursuits. Already, he has authored or co-authored several research papers on subjects related to Computer Science or Information Technology, it is not surprising that quite a few of his students have demonstrated their creative talent under his tutelage.
Saeed is a restless soul. He is not the conventional sit back, relax and enjoy type of person. He prefers to go out and discover what is there that can interest him. Inquisitiveness and enquiry mark his professional ethics. As a routine, therefore, he ventures out to participate in workshops. conferences and research studies, often on esoteric subjects.
Our country needs people of his type. Go-getters who define their goals and the path that takes them right there. In no time.

Ashfaq Malik
spent a lifetime in the strictures of the military environment. So, it was natural of him to become a disciplinarian that he is. The fact is evident from a list of educational accomplishments and work experiences that goes beyond the ordinary.
His first taste of victory within the military culture came in the early 90s when he graduated from Pakistan Naval Academy, which earned him a commission in Pakistan Navy as Naval Officer. That marked the beginning of his professional career. During his duty, he took up studies to graduate as an Electrical Engineer and then penned a doctoral thesis related to Electrical Engineering with specialization in Networks and Information Security.
He has a rich work experience that spans at least 25 years. During this time, he performed a variety of teaching and managerial duties at Pakistan Navy, National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) and affiliated institutes of Sindh Board of Technical Education (SBTE). He has taken early retirement from the Navy to concentrate full time on research and teaching. At the time of leaving the services, he was working as a commander.
His knowledge and deep understanding of cyber security issues makes him an asset for DIGINFO, a company that has set top standards for itself.
In recognition of his illustrious career, both as an educationist as well as an administrator of top order, Dr Ashfaq was twice recommended for the prestigious Tamgha-e-Imtiaz. This alone speaks a lot about the singular dedication and extraordinary passion personified by him.
We desperately need such people. That he is in our midst is a privilege and an honour for all.
