After completion of his Masters Degree he joined the Institute of Physics and Technology, University of Sindh, Jamshoro as a lecturer. After three years service, he received the Central Overseas Training (COT) Award, Ministry of Education, Government of Pakistan for furthering his studies. He embarked to United Kingdom for postgraduate studies and completed his MSc (Medical Physics) at University of Surrey, UK in 1991 and Ph.D in Medical Physics from King's College London, University of London, in 1996.
Upon completion of his education overseas, he returned to Pakistan and resumed his duties at the University of Sindh. He remained actively engaged in teaching, research and other relevant activities and was the pioneer of the Medical Physics discipline taught at undergraduate and postgraduate levels in the University of Sindh. Based on his excellent performance, he was appointed as Associate Professor in October 1999 in the same institute and then, Full Professor in 2004.
He worked for three years (2001 - 2004) as a lecturer in the School of Health Sciences, University Science Malaysia, Health Campus, Kubang Kerian, Kota Bharu, Malaysia. He is a recipient of the Best Lecturer Award and a research grant.
He holds the credit for publishing a number of impactful research articles in journals of national and international repute. He has co-authored two books, on Research Methodologies and has been a recipient of Gold, Silver and Bronze medals of IRIIE, ITEX, InEx and MTE as a result of his outstanding research contributions in various areas of his respective field. Also, he has completed a couple of research projects and a few are ongoing. In his credit is also a patent of research product.
Since July 2009 Dr. Sayed has been working in the Department of Diagnostic Imaging and Radiotherapy, Kulliyyah of Allied Health Sciences, International Islamic University Malaysia.
