What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role in chemical engineering where I can apply my technical skills and contribute to innovative projects while continuing to grow professionally.

I am a dedicated and motivated chemical engineering student at the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) in Islamabad, Pakistan. With a solid foundation in chemical process engineering and a keen interest in optimizing production processes, I have developed strong technical skills in software tools such as Aspen Plus and MATLAB. My academic journey has equipped me with the knowledge and practical experience necessary to tackle complex engineering challenges.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have taken on leadership roles within various student societies, where I honed my organizational and communication skills. As the Director of Decor for the NUST AIChE Society, I successfully designed and managed themed decor for society-wide events, showcasing my creativity and attention to detail. My experience in securing sponsorships for the NUST Materials Society further demonstrates my ability to coordinate and collaborate effectively with diverse teams.
