Muhammad Asif Zahoor Raja

Also known as 羅艾希, Asif Zahoor Raja

Muhammad Asif Zahoor Raja is a professor at National Yunlin University of Science and Technology (YunTech) in Taiwan who applies neural networks and swarm intelligence to fractional and nonlinear differential equations. He earned master's degrees in mathematics in 1996 and nuclear engineering in 1999, worked on research and development for the Engineering and Scientific Commission of Pakistan from 1999 to 2012, and completed a PhD in electronic engineering at International Islamic University, Islamabad, in 2011. His doctoral work produced the fractional least mean square algorithm and a platform that solves fractional differential equations with artificial intelligence techniques. After serving as an assistant professor at COMSATS Institute of Information Technology's Attock campus, he joined the Future Technology Research Center at YunTech by 2022 and went on to coauthor neural-network studies of COVID-19 and dengue, and a 2024 PLOS ONE framework for a malaria model. He is a professor in the Graduate School of Engineering Science and Technology at YunTech, and Google Scholar counts more than 27,000 citations to his work.

From the biography.

  1. Google had the most people shaping AI every year from 2014 to 2025Our estimates of which organizations employed the most people shaping AI each year from 1955 to 2025, tracing the shift from university labs to companies.
  2. The United States employs an estimated 48% of people shaping AIWe estimate where the people shaping AI work today, how universities, companies and research institutes split across countries, and how country shares have changed since the 1960s.
  3. 43% of living people shaping AI work outside their country of birthWe estimate that 43% of living people shaping AI work outside their country of birth (520 of 1,198 people with known birth and employment countries).
  4. More people shaping AI studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology than at any other institutionWe estimate where the people shaping AI studied and where their careers led. Massachusetts Institute of Technology leads with 467 former students, including 291 recorded doctorates.
