Assistant Professor
Ph.D in Chemical Engineering, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, China.

Engr. Dr. Naeem Akhtar Qaisrani did his Bachelors in Chemical Engineering from COMSATS, Lahore, and M.Sc. Chemical Engineering from the University of the Punjab, Pakistan. He got a fully-funded Chinese Government scholarship and went to the Dalian University of Technology, China for his Ph.D. His research focus was on the development of a High-Performance Anion Exchange membrane for fuel cell application. He has worked on various projects at the Dalian University of Technology. He carried out the Synthesis and characterization of the anion exchange membrane for the fuel cell. Similarly, Synthesis of membranes for vanadium flow battery application. He has published a number of reputed international journal papers.

In September 2020, Engr. Dr. Naeem Akhtar Qaisrani started as a Lecturer (Visiting) Chemical Engineering at Khwaja Fareed University of Engineering and Information Technology (KFUEIT) Rahim Yar Khan, Pakistan. He was recently promoted to Assistant Professor and is actively involved in teaching and research at KFUEIT, Rahim Yar Khan's numerous academic department_id.
