Success Stories


Umar Zahid

I am Engr. Umar Zahid benefited resident of District Swabi, located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

I have completed my FSc from Quaid International Model School and College Swabi. I was fortunate enough to get admission in BSc Civil at Wah Engineering College, University of Wah. Fortunately, with diligence and hard work and prayers of my parents, I got overall 1st position in Civil Engineering Department and was awarded with gold medal. I am honored to be a part of this prestigious institute considering this period of four years as the most vital and significant in my personality development.

Soon after graduation, I entered a professional life as an interne with Maymor Consultant Company and realized that the quality time I had spent during the bachelors degree, had immensely helped in my professional development. After spending some time with Maymor, it was realized that the students of Wah Engineering College are critically strong at the basic concepts of Civil Engineering and are able to easily correlate the theoretical knowledge with the practical field, which I believe is all due to experienced, highly focused and qualified faculty members. After having spent some time in field, I have switched my career towards academics and believe that the knowledge and experience I possess should be conveyed to the students, and in order to pursue it, I have joined my Alma Mater as a Lab Engineer and looking forward to enhancing my academic potential by enrolling in MS Structural Engineering.

The key to success is how focused and passionate you are about something.

Ayesha Masoom

Limit is something which only exists in our minds. With determination, precision, consistency, motivation, and handwork there is nothing one cannot attain. When I was admitted to WEC (Wah Engineering College) in Chemical Engineering Department, I was not so confident, but later, by the help and support of my teachers, I became confident and got the courage to hold my head up and conquer. That is the main reason which makes me able to receive the Distinguished Student of Faculty Award. Being a part of WEC, I felt blessed, and I am very thankful to my teachers for bringing the best of me out. There is the best educational experience any student could have asked for. That day is not far when people will recognize me with the name of WEC and I am very grateful to the Institute for providing guidelines and motivation to inspire me to achieve my goals. Currently, I am doing my masters in chemical engineering at WEC and doing job here as lab engineer. Just a piece of advice: dont ever doubt your worth and always believe in your dreams, anything is possible with the right amount of effort and courage.



Syed Faiz Ul Hassan

Being successful is the desire of all of us residing over this lovely planet. I want the absolute best for myself so, I chose UW. My journey towards UW had started in 2017. I am graduate student in the Chemistry Department. It's a unique institution and the professors and lecturers aren't just teachers, they're mentors too. Thank you so much for facilitating such a positive learning environment, amazing lectures, and discussions. One of the most important thing I learned from this organization was the importance of building and planning of future. After completion of my degree, I applied for fellowship in PIEAS. I was fortunate enough to receive my graduate Research fellowship from PIEAS in a trial. This scholarship lightened my financial burden. I do analytical and nuclear research in labs. I cannot imagine any possible way to truly express my thanks to UW. Finishing my degree at UW is one of the best choices i have ever made. This achievement dedicated to all my teachers who inspired a desire for lifelong learning. Though it wasn't all easy, much of where I have gotten today will not be possible without the support of my teachers. It is because of their constant guidance through this journey that i have been able to embrace the values and lessons of UW.

Dr. Muhammad Sultan Irshad

I came to UOW as an undergraduate student to join the physics department then called the class UW-11-PHY-BS-062 in 2011. So, what changed? Nothing apparently. I embraced the change. I started seeing myself and the potential my future may hold. All because of being at UOW. And just as people need a push in their lives from a mentor, a leader at the cusp of my graduation I was prodded by my undergraduate adviser to accept an invitation to join COMSATS University, under the able supervision of Dr. Muhammad Idrees in 2016. Since then, I have not looked back. I wanted to study further, but via scholarship, I had been on a merit-based scholarship at COMSATS Lahore- thus the motivation, and I wanted to travel. I studied for a master’s in physics in the experimental field at the Nano-materials lab. I worked on a unique thin-film technology for data storage devices, and My research was published in well-reputed international journals e.g., Scientific Reports, Nature, RSC Advances, and American Chemical Society.

This led me to join the well renowned Key Laboratory for the Green Preparation and Application of Functional Materials, and eventually to my Ph.D. admission on Chinese government scholarship into Hubei University in Wuhan, China in 2019. Another moment in my life where I needed a push from a supervisor “Prof. Xianbao Wang” As inequitable as it may sound, life can be condensed into a few key moments. What you do, and what you decide during these moments shape your future, and believe it or not, helps you put your past into perspective. Oh yes! Even before I started my doctorate I wanted to contribute to tech-oriented solutions to pressing challenges of our society e.g., water scarcity. It was one of the things that were just cemented in my head - I had to do it see a shade of stubbornness? Since finishing with my Ph.D. along with an excellent thesis, and most excellent international student awards. I have had the opportunity to build solar-driven water purification and simultaneous electricity generation devices.

Currently, I am a post-doctoral researcher at Shenzhen University, Shenzhen, and his research interest focus on nano-enabled photothermal materials for multi-functional systems e.g., water-energy nexus, disinfection, and treatment of wastewater, cogeneration of water-thermoelectricity, and all-in-one integrated piezo-photothermal for tactile sensing and power generation. He published more than 30 papers during the 05 years of his research career. But life is not a destination, it's a journey. You win some, you lose some. And what better way is there to learn than to fail and fail fast? It may be a cliché but it is true - what does not kill you, makes you stronger. I have now moved on from these experiences - embracing change, and persevering. Happiness most definitely is a state of mind, but it goes arm in arm with your individuality. And happiness is not measured, it's lived. Where Irsquo;m today is a very happy spot. This time I was not prodded, I was found by someone who is no longer. And yes someday, yet again for another time, I will embrace another change and I will persevere. Because change is the only constant in life.

Balquees Kanwal

My Name is Balquees Kanwal. Currently, I am pursuing my PhD in Cancer Biology from NUST. Having said that, it would have been inconceivable and unthinkable to get enrolled in NUST without getting experience from University of Wah. For that I wish to reflect briefly on my journey with UW in 2013 as a fresh student of Biosciences. It didn't take me long to adjust with the University environment as it got everything what a student dreams for. Highly qualified faculty, fully equipped lab, friendly classmates, equipped lab, friendly classmates, helpful departmental staff have been the hallmark of University of Wah. One of the most cherished moments at UW was that when I was awarded Gold Medal for having ranked first in my department. I am truly humbled to say that I owe a lot of what I am today to the strong foundation I received at UW. I hope and pray that years down the line, I will be able to repay the favor and support to my alma mater.
