He said that our Business School students have done equally well in various university level competitions. Our BBA students have been winners of CASE SPARK, and NASCON. Also, students of CASE Business School have the honour of winning INVENT, the biggest Entrepreneurial Challenge Competition of Pakistan organized by IBA, Karachi where the prize money was Rs1,425,000. Additionally, our Business School students have finished among top five teams of Prime Minister’s Entrepreneurship Challenge organised by NUST.
Dr Abdul Khaliq said that typical fingerprint recognition systems are very slow in giving results when dealing with large data basis. Our faculty members have developed a state of the art fingerprint matching algorithm along with a novel scalable fingerprint matching processor that can perform Multimillion Matches per Second. Such a system has tremendous applications in personal identification and is currently available for use. Such a system can be used for example by NADRA for voter identification and banks for customer identifications.
The CASE president said that most ECG machines presently installed do not have capabilities like high resolution signal acquisition, remote monitoring, real-time data storage and patient database management. Patients at remote locations can have normal and high resolution digital ECG with the cardiologist sitting in another city. Different algorithms have been built into the machine for self-diagnosing a patient for different arrhythmic abnormalities as well as early detection of risks associated with fatal arrhythmias which can lead to sudden cardiac death. Such a system has tremendous potential for country like Pakistan where specialized health care is not available in remote areas. The team is now working on Intra-cardiac Signal Acquisition, Analysis and Display (ISAAD) System.
“CASE faculty members have developed a positioning system for satellite antennas that are mounted on top of mobile vans,” he said.
He said that CARE has also developed Pakistan first Net Centric System that helps safeguard the airspace of Pakistan. This system digitizes sensors of different origins and integrates them in a network. CARE proprietary devices connect all the nodes in the network using multiple communication technologies. The system is aided with decision aiding tools and is currently deployed in Pakistan.
Dr Abdul Khaliq said that realizing the importance of Industry Academia relationship, Centre for Advanced Research in Engineering (CARE) was established in 2003 by the same team that established CASE. CASE and CARE now coexist in the same building displaying a unique model of industry academia partnership and collaboration.
He said that CASE has applied for the Degree Awarding Institution (DAI) status in partnership with Sir Syed Memorial Society (SSMS) by the name of “Sir Syed CASE Institute of Technology”. Our case is currently with the federal cabinet and we hope to transition into Sir Syed CASE Institute of Technology in the very near future.
