Dr. Khaista Rahman is a distinguished researcher specializing in fuzzy set theory, fuzzy logic, aggregation operators, and artificial intelligence-based decision support systems, with a strong focus on solving decision-making problems under uncertainty. His work explores advanced mathematical structures like Pythagorean fuzzy numbers, interval-valued fuzzy models, and complex fuzzy systems to create robust solutions for multi-attribute group decision-making processes. Dr. Rahman has published extensively on generalized and induced aggregation operators, developing new models that enhance decision accuracy and reliability in diverse applications such as plant location selection, hospital siting during COVID-19, vaccine selection, and railway optimization problems. His research integrates t-norm and t-conorm-based approaches, Einstein hybrid operators, and logarithmic intuitionistic fuzzy techniques to handle complex decision environments. He has also supervised several M.Phil., M.Sc., and BS scholars, contributing significantly to academic mentorship and knowledge dissemination. Recognized among the top 2% scientists worldwide by Stanford University from 2022 to 2025, he has made substantial contributions to granular computing, soft computing, and intelligent systems literature. His work during the COVID-19 pandemic stands out for developing emergency response models using complex fuzzy information to predict and manage disease spread in Pakistan. As Principal Investigator of a funded project on complex intelligent decision support models, Dr. Rahman has bridged theoretical advancements with practical implementations, making his research highly impactful. With an H-index of 26 and over 1900 citations, his scholarly influence spans mathematics, operations research, and computational intelligence, providing frameworks that empower policymakers and industries to make optimal decisions in uncertain and dynamic scenarios. Dr. Khaista Rahman has achieved 776 citations across 532 documents with an impressive h-index of 16.
