Faculty Profile

Dr. Aqeel Abbas
Assistant Professor
PhD/Post-Doc, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology

I am a mechanical engineer and academic researcher with extensive experience in teaching and international research. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Taxila, and a Master’s degree in Mechanical Design Engineering from UET Lahore. I completed my PhD at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST), Taiwan.

I have carried out postdoctoral research at the National Taiwan University (NTU), Taiwan, and at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), Saudi Arabia. My research focuses on solid-state hydrogen storage, shape memory alloys, corrosion under organic fluids, metal matrix composites, and surface engineering and coatings.

I have been engaged in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching at the University of Lahore and the NFC Institute of Engineering and Fertilizer Research, Faisalabad. I have published several research articles in peer-reviewed international journals and continue to actively contribute to research and academic development in my areas of expertise.
