It's a matter of great pleasure that we've recruited two outstanding faculty members in the Department of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering at SBASSE, LUMS.

Dr. Tauqeer Abbas, PhD from North Dakota University, works in the areas of ionic liquids and eutectic solvents and their use for water cleaning, wastewater remediation and detoxification.  He arrives in LUMS after a post-doctoral stint at the University of Nevada's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. 

Dr. Faheem Hassan Akhtar completed his PhD from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia. His expertise is in using membranes and polymers for separation of gaseous mixtures. This is a massively important, energy-hungry and crucial area for improving chemical processes and improving the environment. 

Both of these additions to our community would accelerate our mission to devise ways to make the climate cleaner, intervene positively with the industry and train a new generation of chemical engineers in modern trends.

SBASSE family welcomes Drs. Tauqeer and Faheem!
