Before joining LUMS, Humaira Kamal worked as a design engineer at Descon and Nespak. She has served in a group involved in the design of Telecommunication and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. She has worked on the design of upgradation and expansion of telecommunication system for Bahrain water and electrical control centers and feasibility study for WAPDA Load Despatch Project. Ms. Kamal has also worked on design of industrial instrumentation and control for chemical plants. From 2004-05, she was Paetzold Fellow at the University of British Columbia. Her research interests include parallel computing and distributed systems. She has published papers on these topics in international IEEE & ACM refereed conferences.
Research Interests
Her areas of research include parallel computing and distributed systems. She has worked on SCTP-based middleware for the support of message passing programs using MPI. Her research interests focus on providing a robust and secure system for execution of data and compute intensive applications in cluster and grid environments.
