Mirza Naveed Shahzad received his M.Sc. degree in Statistics from the University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan, and his M.Phil./M.S. degree in Statistics from Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan, in 2008. He earned his Ph.D. in Statistics from Quaid-i-Azam University in 2016. During his doctoral studies, he was awarded a six-month research fellowship and conducted research at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, McMaster University, Canada, where he developed novel methods in Probability. He is currently serving as an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Gujrat, Pakistan. Previously, he held positions as an Assistant Professor at the University of Gujrat (UOG) and served as Assistant Director at the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan. Dr. Shahzad has authored over 30 scholarly publications in peer-reviewed journals and conferences. His recent research interests include probabilistic theory, applied statistics, Bayesian statistics, time-series analysis, hybrid models, and biostatistics. He actively reviews manuscripts for several international journals and has extensive teaching experience across a wide range of graduate and postgraduate courses.

My research interests include Probabilistic theory, Applied Statistics, Bayesian Statistics, Time-series analysis, Hybrid models, and Biostatistics
Probabilistic theory towards the development of new probability distributions and their inferences
Bayesian Statistics, such as Bayesian analysis of k-component mixture distributions and the application of Bayesian Multivariate techniques
Time-series analysis, such as the environmental factors and financial matters, involves time series data analysis
Hybrid models, towards the development of the new hybrid techniques by the time-series, machine learning, and deep learning techniques
Applied Statistics, such as the analysis of the survey-based data with advanced multivariate techniques
Biostatistics, such as handling the medical and biological case-control and fMRI data with advanced multivariate techniques
