Azfar Adib
Public Scholar & PhD Candidate, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Concordia University
Azfar Adib is a Public Scholar and a doctoral candidate in Concordia’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He holds a Master of Business Administration in marketing and a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering. Azfar has more than eight years of professional experience in the telecommunications sector. He is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Azfar regularly promotes constructive aspects of technology through writing, public speaking and community engagement.
Azfar’s research focuses on developing age-verification systems using electrocardiogram (ECG). Age-verification is the process of validating age-segment (adult and minor) of users before delivering certain age-appropriate products to them. Recently, online age-verification has become a crucial need worldwide to protect children from exposure to inappropriate content. However, traditional methods of age-verification, using ID cards and other official documents, are incapable of protecting users’ privacy. Azfar’s research seeks to develop an anonymous method of age verification which can safeguard privacy. He has received several research grants and awards, including MITACS Accelerate.

Azhar Potia
Research Fellow, Queensland Brain Institute, The University of Queensland, The University of Queensland
Azhar is a behavioural, experimental and applied economist with a keen interest in addressing issues of societal disadvantage and inequality. He especially seeks opportunities to explore real-world problems in the field of education and matters relating to Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. Azhar has a strong understanding of, and experience in using, empirical research methods to evaluate programs and administrative data. He has developed an extensive aptitude for designing and implementing experimental studies in field and lab settings alike, as well as using sound econometric analysis techniques to evaluate the outcomes of such experiments. Azhar completed his Ph.D. from the Queensland University of Technology in 2019, and his research was aimed at assessing the framing effects of different incentive structures and student commitments on educational outcomes of Indigenous Australian high school students.
Prior to his Ph.D. work, Azhar spent an extended period living and working in remote Indigenous communities on Queensland's Cape York where he designed and implemented financial literacy programs for the benefit of socially-disadvantaged residents. This experience was a key driving factor in his decision to study and address real-world issues. Azhar is particularly passionate about bridging the gap between academic research and industry. For a social organisation working on matters affecting disadvantaged people in the real world, incorporating a strategic research component into their work is crucial in his eyes and he strives to develop such collaborative links and networks.
