In yet another testament to its pursuit toward academic excellence, Pakistan’s leading technology institution Usman Institute of Technology (UIT) has won the Best Paper Award at a two-day Computer Sciences & Information Technology (CS & IT) conference organized by the Institute of Business & Technology (IBT). Beating entrants from the country’s top 16 universities, Dr. Muhammad Wasim, Assistant Professor at UIT, won the coveted award for his paper ‘Dotted Raster-stereography ¾ an efficient approach for face detection.’
The conference was held on October 30-31, 2016, at IBT. A number of national and international speakers presented their latest research in the field of CS & IT. Dr. Numan Islam, Associate Professor at Iqra University, served as the session chair of conference.
