Welcome to Saeed Anwar Homepage

I am a Senior Lecturer (US Associate Professor) at the University of Western Australia (UWA) and leading Visual Intelligence and Analytical Imaging Lab. I am also a visiting scientist at the CSIRO and an honorary faculty member at the Australian National University (ANU).
In academia, I was an adjunct assistant professor at the University of Canberra (UC), a Visiting Fellow at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), an assistant professor at King Fahad University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM). I also served at the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences (NUCES) and Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology (GIKI).
In industry, I was a Research Scientist at Data61, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). I was a fellow at SDAIA's Joint Research Center of AI (JRCAI). Moreover, I was involved in various projects with National ICT Australia (NICTA). Previously, I worked on a medical-related project with Toshiba Medical Visualization Systems Europe (TMVSE) in Scotland, where I simulated sonar sensors for transparent object detection at Pal Robotics in Barcelona.


Education, I hold a PhD from the Australian National University, where I studied at the College of Engineering & Computer Science. I conducted doctoral research within the Computer Vision Research Group (CVRG) at Data61 (previously known as NICTA), CSIRO. Prior to my PhD, I pursued a Master's degree in Computer Vision and Robotics (Vibot) through a collaborative program involving Heriot-Watt University, the University of Girona, and the University of Bourgogne. My academic journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Systems Engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology (UET), KPK.
