I am a Tenured Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, with approximately 20 years of experience in academia, chemical engineering, sustainable energy, environmental engineering, and industry collaboration.
My research expertise focuses on Waste-to-Energy and low-carbon energy technologies, particularly biomass and waste gasification, pyrolysis, fluidized-bed systems, and industrial waste-heat recovery using Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems for power generation. I also have research experience in energy efficiency, CO2 separation, emission-control technologies, and sustainable chemical processes, supported by a strong background in fluidized-bed hydrodynamics.
I hold a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Konkuk University, South Korea, and an MS in Environmental Engineering, completed in South Korea under an HEC merit scholarship. During my doctoral studies, I contributed to energy and environmental engineering projects supported by organizations including Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) and POSCO.
I have published in international journals on biomass energy, gasification, waste-to-energy, waste-heat recovery, energy efficiency, and sustainable chemical processes. My work aims to develop practical and scalable technologies that convert waste into useful energy, improve energy efficiency, reduce fossil-fuel dependence, and mitigate environmental impacts and greenhouse-gas emissions.
Alongside research, I teach core Chemical Engineering subjects and contribute to industry–academia collaboration and engineering education.
