Saba Zia is an accomplished academic and engineer, currently serving as Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at The University of Lahore (UOL). Since 2012, she has been a driving force behind the development of future-ready engineers, blending rigorous theory with hands-on innovation.
With a distinguished academic pedigree from the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Engr. Zia holds a Bachelor’s in Information and Communication Systems Engineering from SEECS (2007) and a Master’s in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Telecom from MCS (2009). Her early career at NUST’s CEFAR as a Lab Engineer (2007–2010) immersed her in cutting-edge research and technical experimentation, laying the groundwork for her transition into academia.
Before joining UOL, she served as a Lecturer at SEECS (2010–2012), where she began shaping her signature teaching style—dynamic, deeply technical, and student-centered. Her course portfolio spans Digital Logic Design, Embedded Systems (with a focus on STM microcontrollers), Computer Architecture, Signals and Systems, and Verilog HDL, among others.
Beyond the classroom, Engr. Zia has actively contributed to national skill development initiatives. She played a key instructional role in NAVTTC’s Chip Design Training Module, where she taught Digital Design using Verilog HDL and Computer Architecture—empowering participants with industry-relevant skills in semiconductor design and verification.
Known for her clarity, precision, and passion for engineering education, Engr. Zia continues to inspire a generation of thinkers and builders at the intersection of theory and application.
