I, Muhammad
Waqas is a Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences (Solid Waste Management) from King
Abdul Aziz University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. During Ph.D., my research was
focused on developing novel approaches for optimizing the conversion of Organic
Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste to organic fertilizer (compost). Moreover, I
am also working on waste-to-energy technologies by utilizing the potential of
various organic biomass. Being a principal investigator and co-principal investigator
I had completed various national and international research projects related to
Solid Waste Management, Environmental Sustainability and Energy. Currently, I am working as Assistant Professor (Guest) at the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Karadeniz Technical University, Turkiye and Department of Environmental Sciences, Kohat University of Science and Technology, Pakistan (regular basis). Moreover, I am also the
team member of solid waste management group at the Center of Excellence in
Environmental Studies (CEES) of King Abdul Aziz University, Saudi Arabia. During my carrier I had published 39 research
articles and 04 book chapters in many peer reviewed journals. My entire
research carrier is focused on environmental research and sustainability. I
presented my research work in various international and national conferences
and also chaired session in four international conferences. I am the review
editor in the Editorial Board of Energy & Environment and Frontiers in
Bioengineering and Biotechnology and Energy Research. I got Gold Medal in MSc
(Hons) and BSc (Hons) and also recipient of Best Performance Award as an
outstanding performance during his academic carrier.
In addition
to education and research with multicultural working abilities, I am actively
involved in various programs initiated by the Government of Pakistan in
collaboration with Higher Education Institutions. At university level, I am the
focal person of Prime Minister’s Green Youth Movement and Engagement of
Students for Young Initiatives for SDGs that aims to invest in the development
of youth and to make them skilled, confident, resourceful & self-reliant
ultimately enabling them to contribute positively in the progress &
economic stability of Pakistan. Likewise, I am also the member of academic
search committee for the selection and feasibility of various academic programs
to be initiated by the university. In addition, at department level I am the
convener/member of various committees for the curriculum development and
ensuring the provision of quality education and meaningful engagement for
gainful potential employment and responsible citizen.
