Safi Ahmed

Assistant Professor
Summary

Dr. Safi Ahmed brings his expertise in PDE modeling and simulation that will strengthen the capabilities of NUST in computational engineering. His recent work focuses on building PDE workflows in Mathematica that help engineering and research teams cut development time, reduce onboarding costs, and adapt their models to new problems faster. His work has evolved into a modular toolkit which is well received at his teaching and talks, including his recent talk at the Wolfram PDE Colloquium 2025. ※ Courses dlivered: CS-326, Applied AI and Machine Learning (Spring 2026), ME-421, Mechanical Vibrations (Fall 2025, Fall 2026), ME-113, Statics (Fall 2025, Fall 2026)
