Her areas of interest are network optimization and urban planning. She did her doctoral research in these areas supervised by some well known names in the fields. She also worked as a consultant on a project to help formulate a mathematical model for building desalination plants and a water pipelines network for the east coast of Saudi Arabia.
Dr. Sadiq worked in the telecommunications industry with AT&T and Alcatel in USA for 23 years before joining the Institute of Space Technology (IST) in Islamabad in 2004. She is helping with the plan and setup of Computational Mathematics and Operations Research department at IST.
During her years in the USA, Ghazala became very active in educating people about Islam and promoting goodwill between Muslims and non-Muslims. She was a board member of the Interfaith Alliance of NC and has given dozens of talks on Islam at churches, schools, universities, special interest clubs, once to a crowd of 5000 people.
Ghazala runs several km a day. She is a regular participant of Lahore marathons. In the US she also played soccer.

Course Description:
Have you ever said to yourself “There must be a better way to do this?” Chances are, there is! Did you know :
· The Netherlands Rijkswaterstaat saved $15M/yr by new procedures in water management
· Digital Equipment Corp. saved $800M/yr by restructuring its global supply chain
· Continental Airlines saved $40M/yr by optimizing the reassignment of crews to flights during disruptions?
All of these organizations used techniques in Operations Research to find better ways of doing things.
Operations Research is the art and science of applying mathematics to find optimal solutions to real-life engineering and business problems. Although optimization of functions has existed for a long time, it became a science of its own during WWII, and later received significant boost from the advent of powerful computers. Today it is applied in many diverse fields such as engineering, financial planning, manufacturing, transportation, telecommunications, construction, healthcare, military, public services, urban planning etc.
