Jahanzeb did his undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering with Control specialisation from City University London. Shortly thereafter, he joined the centre for sensors and instrumentation at Brunel University London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering (advance control systems) where he closely worked on the research and development of the CMS detector at the European organisation for nuclear research (CERN) and Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE) at Rutherford Appleton Laboratories (RAL) Oxford.
He served as Assistant Professor at several academic institutions before starting to work as a Research Fellow at the Cavendish lab, the University of Cambridge. At Cambridge, he worked on the Research and development of ANUBIS, AN Underground Belayed In-Shaft search experiment instrumented above the ATLAS detector at LHC, CERN, to facilitate the reconstruction of ultra-long-lived particles in search for Dark Matter. Lately, he worked as a lecturer at Royal Holloway University before finally joining Glasgow Caledonian University as a Lecturer in Control Engineering. His research interests mainly include Control theory and Engineering, instrumentation and measurements, nonlinear tracking, state estimation and scientific computing.
