2010 1 Comment Written by Muhammad Younas

The Robotics and Biology Laboratory in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Technische Universit?t Berlin has an immediate opening!

About the Research
The Robotics and Biology Laboratory conducts cutting-edge research in the area of autonomous mobile manipulation, including work on manipulation, interactive perception, grasping, computer vision, motion generation, motion planning, and robotic cognition. Our work is motivated by the desire to create robotic systems that perform dexterous manipulation tasks in everyday environments with a level of competency rivaling that of humans. We strive to demonstrate our research on real-world robotic systems. This requires the tight integration of autonomous capabilities in manipulation, perception, planning, control, machine learning, and reasoning. Researchers in our lab work at the intersection of at least two of these areas, creating innovative solutions to research challenges in robotics and artificial intelligence. Research projects will be tailored to the preferences, skills, and experience of the successful applicant.

Participate in first ever Virtual Education Fair to meet with Top Universities, Education and Training Providers

Oct24
2009 7 Comments Written by pkstudent

The Middle East’s first ever virtual education fair (VEF) was announced on Wednesday at Gitex by Dubai International Academic City (DIAC) in partnership with Bayt.com.

Set to take place online from November 15 – 21 around the clock, VEF will link universities, colleges, training providers and consultants from across the region to those interested in furthering their education.

“Many students don’t want personal interaction with exhibitors,” Dr Ayoub Kazim, Executive Director of DIAC told Gulf News; which is why VEF provides a perfect opportunity to do it all online. Not only is it free for information seekers but for participating institutions it is but a fraction of the price of what it would cost at a real-life exhibition.

Those interested in pursuing higher education will be given an unprecedented chance to interact on a real-time basis with education providers via text and voice chat as well as live video.

Sir/Madam,

I introduce myself as a geophysicist(oil & gas exploration) and has received this US FULBRIGHT scholarship. I work in OGDC and I am not sure IF I should go to US, leaving my job.

I was reading this profile of Mr. Jehanzeb who was a Fulbrighter and ended up working in US. I have the following queries:
1. IS it possible to work after doing masters on Fulbright. I have got the j1 visa, but I haven’t gone abroad yet?

2. After coming back to Pakistan, can I go back to any other country, please note that I am not on HEC/FULBRIGHT program, I am on simple fulbrght program (they have taken undertaking for us to return to Pakistan on 100 Rs stamp paper) but no bond was signed (i’m no sure if that is a bond)

Your assistance will be appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Salman

MBA from UK or LUMS ?

May22
2008 16 Comments Written by pkstudent

I have just read the post regarding moving back to Pakistan, which provides a very good starting point. I’m in a similar position and have been thinking about the moving back to Pakistan for sometime.

The main driver for the move is coming back to my parents. I have a successful career here and am doing very well but just find that something is missing and would also like to contribute positively to Pakistan.

So i want my move to really work and am willing to give it all.

I graduated from the University of London and have been working in satellite communication for the last 5 years. I don’t know what Pakistan has to offer on that front so i am now thinking of starting something myself and also study when i get back to Pakistan.

I have decided on doing an MBA from LUMS to help diversify a bit and secondly ease myself back into the system as i have been away for quite a few years.

Is LUMS a good option to do my MBA from as i am planning to move back and stay there i don’t see the point in doing an MBA from the UK as the LUMS one is more tailored for Pakistan and has a very good reputation. Plus i might learn a bit about business as currently i work more on the technical side.

Or should i be thinking of doing an MBA from the UK and then come back? What should i do, i’m personally more inclined to go to LUMS as i can move sooner.

How should i approach this?

Thanks
Daanish
