Ashraf Iqbal graduated in Electrical Engineering from the University of Engineering & Technology, Lahore, Pakistan, in 1975. He received the M.Sc. degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering in 1983, and his Ph.D. degree from the same university in 1991. He joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Engineering University, Lahore, as a lecturer in 1975. He was promoted to Professor in 1992.
In 1985 and 1986, Dr Iqbal worked as a graduate fellow at the Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering (ICASE), NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia, USA. He conducted research as a Fulbright Scholar at the Department of EE-Systems, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, in 1992. In 1996, he worked as a DAAD Research fellow at the University of Stuttgart, Institute for Parallel & Distributed, High-Performance Systems (IPVR), Stuttgart, Germany. He joined the department of Computer Science, Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) in 2000, and worked as the head of the department from 2000 to 2003. Currently, he is working as a Professor in the same department.
