About
From Lahore
to Imperial
to London.
I chose engineering over medicine as a student and studied chemical engineering at the University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Lahore. I joined the faculty there in 2005 and completed my PhD at Imperial College London in 2011.
Over 18 years at UET I rose from Lecturer to Professor and led the Department of Chemical Engineering. I built industry links, research laboratories and student support, while raising a family of four.
Today I work in London as an independent consultant, bringing that depth to companies and private clients who need dependable engineering advice.
