Introduction

Sajid Anwer joined FAST National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences (NUCES), Chiniot-Faisalabad (CFD) Campus, Pakistan as an Assistant Professor in August 2021. Prior to this, he did his PhD in computer science from Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia and master’s degree in Computer Science from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Saudi Arabia. He worked as a lecturer for one and a half year at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) and for one year at FAST-National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences (FAST-NUCES), Chiniot-Faisalabad campus. Moreover, he has approximately six years of casual teaching experience at different Universities in different countries.

He has published several research articles in journals and conferences. His research interests include software engineering, requirements engineering, global software development, formal languages.
