Profile Summary

I am Dr. Ghulam Mustafa, a dedicated AI researcher and data scientist with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Taxila. My academic journey is distinguished by multiple gold medals and a consistent record of excellence, from undergraduate to doctoral studies. I currently serve as an Assistant Professor at Shifa Tameer-e-Millat University (STMU), where I teach and supervise undergraduate, MS, and PhD research projects in machine learning, scientometrics, natural language processing, and software engineering. My research primarily focuses on author ranking systems, bibliometric analytics, and advanced machine learning techniques for scientific impact modeling. I have published over 18 peer-reviewed articles in high-impact journals such as IEEE Access, PLOS ONE, Scientific Reports, and Heliyon, with a cumulative impact factor of over 53 and more than 200 citations. I also serve as an academic editor and reviewer for leading journals. I possess strong technical skills in Python (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn), Java, C++, and database systems, along with hands-on experience in web and desktop application development. My recent projects include AI-powered systems for gold price prediction and research impact analysis using evolutionary programming and deep learning. I have also contributed to the evaluation of researcher indices, article retractions, and citation-based metrics through both supervised and independent projects. Beyond research, I have held academic leadership roles such as NCEAC Accreditation Coordinator, Admission Head, and Member of Quality Enhancement and Discipline Committees. My work bridges academic insight with applied data science, making me well-suited to deliver expert analysis, machine learning modeling, and academic consulting for diverse scientific domains.
