About me
Chemical Engineer with over 10 years of experience in industrial operations and sustainable process development, specializing in biomass valorization, biochar production, and wastewater treatment. My research focuses on transforming agricultural waste into high-value materials for environmental remediation and clean energy applications. I have independently designed experimental systems and conducted extensive research contributing to circular economy and climate-resilient technologies. Currently based in the United States, I am actively engaged in advancing sustainable engineering solutions with global environmental impact.
I am a Chemical Engineer with over a decade of professional experience in industrial process engineering, production management, and sustainable technology development. I hold a Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering and am a lifetime member of the Pakistan Engineering Council.
My research focuses on biomass conversion, biochar production, and advanced wastewater treatment technologies aimed at addressing global environmental challenges such as climate change, water scarcity, and sustainable resource management. I have worked extensively on developing low-cost, environmentally friendly solutions for heavy metal removal, textile wastewater treatment, and renewable energy generation through waste-to-energy systems.
A distinguishing aspect of my work is the independent design and fabrication of experimental equipment to conduct advanced research in resource-limited environments, enabling me to perform over 300 experimental trials and develop practical, scalable solutions. My research integrates principles of circular economy by converting agricultural and lignocellulosic waste into valuable materials for environmental remediation.
I have authored multiple research papers in areas including green synthesis of nanoparticles, biochar-based adsorption systems, and techno-economic analysis of sustainable energy solutions, with several manuscripts currently under peer review and in final stages of publication.
Currently based in the United States, I am strengthening my academic and research profile while actively pursuing opportunities to contribute to cutting-edge research in environmental engineering, renewable energy, and sustainable materials. My long-term goal is to develop innovative, scalable technologies that support clean water access, carbon reduction, and sustainable industrial practices at both national and global levels.
My work contributes to global efforts in clean water access, sustainable energy, and climate change mitigation, aligning with international sustainability goals.
