The directors.
Dr Aazir Anwar Khan
Aazir has spent 30 years taking vehicles and intelligent systems from concept to production across the UK, USA, Italy, Germany, Ireland, Spain, and Pakistan. His commercial record spans the Mercedes EQC powertrain integration, Volvo XC90 mechatronic systems, and the Bentley Mulliner Flying Spur — alongside Aliera's own patented hybrid and electric vehicle platforms, the HADES hypercar concept, and Pakistan's first indigenous air-quality monitoring network.
He directs the Institute of Energy, Climate & Equity at the University of Lahore, founded PakEVO — Pakistan's 40-organisation EV oversight community — and authored the National Energy Vehicle Roadmap presented to Pakistan's Minister of Energy. Featured in Forbes for leading the charge to electrification in Pakistan, he has personally authored and won research programmes exceeding €15M across EU, Irish, and Pakistani frameworks.
Taha Yasin Bhatti
Taha builds LLM, agentic, and perception systems that make it out of the lab — into production, on cloud and on device. He leads Aliera's AI and GenAI engineering: multi-agent platforms, retrieval systems, edge AI on NVIDIA Jetson, and the algorithms behind Aliera's EV retrofit and charging-optimisation programmes, work selected for the Asian Development Bank's Asia Clean Energy Forum 2025.
His research spans grant-funded healthcare robotics with the University of California, Irvine and the University of Notre Dame — LLM-driven dementia-care companions fusing dialogue, vision, and camera-based vitals — with protocols published in JMIR Research Protocols. He built the live air-quality analytics dashboard behind LAACA, Lahore's academic clean-air alliance.
