Cyber-Physical Systems & Intermittent Computing
Designing computing stacks that gracefully tolerate power failures, enabling batteryless devices to deliver dependable sensing and actuation in the wild.
Naveed Anwar Bhatti
Welcome to my academic profile. I am an Assistant Professor at Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), where I mentor the next generation of systems researchers and lead initiatives in embedded intelligence. Also, I am leading SysNet Lab.
Before joining LUMS, I was an ERCIM Alain Bensoussan Postdoctoral Fellow working with Prof. Thiemo Voigt at RISE-SICS in Stockholm. My research explores the foundations of cyber-physical systems, with a focus on transiently powered platforms, embedded system security, and network forensics.
I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Department of Electronics, Information, and Bioengineering (DEIB) at Politecnico di Milano in 2017, advised by Prof. Luca Mottola. Previously, I was a researcher at the Systems and Networks Lab at the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, collaborating with Associate Professor Affan A. Syed. My background includes an MS in Computer Science and a BS in Telecommunications from FAST-NUCES—experiences that laid the groundwork for my focus on dependable, human-centered technology.
