Born in a middle class family of five, that has always prioritized education over everything

else, my life has taught me many lessons. My father is a salaryman in a private firm and the
sole supporter of my family while mother is a housewife. Life was not always a bed of roses,
but we're taught to remain positive through the ebbs and flows of life and take them as
learning experiences. I went to a private school for my early education till tenth grade. As a
child, I have noticed how my parents sacrificed their needs in order to pay for my tuition
expenses on time. Although I was young, it developed a sense of responsibility in me that I
should repay them by making the most of my studies, so I never gave anything less than my
best. As a result, my academic achievements throughout my school life was of top grade.
While my keen interest in academics is instilled in me by my mother, who had always taught
me that its education that makes the difference, I have inherited my strong leadership
qualities and upright character from my father. My father has always been my role model.
He has always advised me to keep on working hard to fulfill my dreams, and that failure is
not something to be afraid of but a lesson to learn from. His words had helped in coping up
against all the hardships I have suffered and will surely be there to help me in difficult times
in future.

As I grew up, I realized my keen interest in chemistry. The decomposition and recreation of
matter as a kid seemed wonders to me. My fascination compelled me to delve more and
more into it and by the time I gained my admission in NED University of Engineering and
Technology, one of the prestigious engineering institutes of Pakistan, it become bases for
me in selecting the multidisciplinary field of Polymer and Petrochemical Engineering as my
Major. I have always enjoyed my field, especially because it revolves not only around the
chemical industry but also deals with the environment safety and with polymeric material
synthesis and processing which are indeed revolutionary in the material world.

My life at NED University was filled with many swirls and twirls but overall it was a fulfilling
journey. I was an active member of my university's Society of Polymer and Petrochemical
Engineers, a departmental society dedicated to maintain university-industry relationship. I
was also a part of the NED Green Society. The campaigns and activities I experienced
there made me realize my responsibilities as an engineer in creating a sustainable and
healthy environment. At first, balancing my studies, social life and extracurricular activities
became a tough challenge for me. It also affected my grades. Yet with hard work and
determination, I learnt to manage not only my studies and activities, but also achieved 1st
position in my batch in my fifth and seventh semester. After years of dedication and hard
work, I graduated from my university standing at rank 6th in a batch of 54 students.
Currently I am expecting my degree in B.E. Polymer and Petrochemical Engineering.

I have always been eager to make the most of my abilities, but due to the scarcity of funds
and limited technology in Pakistan, I get forced to keep my ideas limited time and again. For
my undergraduate final year project, I, along with my group members, initially wanted to
work on optimizing the Reverse Water-Gas Shift Reaction to produce hydrocarbon fuel in
order to find a way to make the process industrially feasible. But due to the unavailability of
the required technology and with no one to sponsor the project, we had to switch to a more
economical one which was developing a Durable and Eco Friendly Oil Resistive Sealant for
Asphalt Pavements by Replacing Coal tar with Polymer as Additive. The idea sparked in my
mind after reading an article regarding harmful effects to life and environment by PAHs
released by Coal tar pavement sealants. However, this time, the availability of materials
was a big issue, since our resources and time were limited. In the end, we opted to perform
quantitative analysis on the effects of recycled tire rubber waste on asphalt pavement to
increase its stability and water resistance - a project never before conducted domestically,
keeping in mind the economic state of Pakistan and the poor condition of its road network.
The project ended up as big success and is now being considered by National Highway
Authority, Pakistan, for its implementation on the upcoming M9 Motorway project.

As a person, I am quite inquisitive. I have always found myself eager to learn and try
everything that I found interesting, no matter how difficult or different it is. Since childhood it
has been my motto that, "If somebody else can do it then why can't I?" This belief had
supported me to cherish so many different hobbies that have made me now a multi-talented
person. At the age of twelve, I started Making movies on fiction scripts. It began as a hobby
and resulted in fostering my leadership skills, teamwork, dedication and hard work. It also
honed my skills on various editing software programs including adobe after effects, premier
pro and Photoshop. I have also enjoyed writing novels in English as a freelance author. This
hobby of mine began as a self-challenge to my abilities, but resulted in improving not only
my writing skills and English language ability drastically but also heightened my insight, and
fostered philosophic thinking. Meeting the deadlines also helped me with more punctual and
dedicated to work.

I had done internships in General Tyres Pakistan, the leading tire manufacturers in
Pakistan, and in Tripack Films Limited, a joint venture between Mitsubishi Corporation of
Japan and Packages Limited of Pakistan. While my internship at General Tyres provided
me with real-time experience of working in an industry, my experience at Tripack Films
taught me what as an engineer I have to offer to an industry and how greatly I can take part
in solving the issues faced during production and in making the processing safer for the
workers and staff. For the internship period at Tripack, I was assigned with three projects
associated with the problems they were facing at BOPP film line namely Fish eye problem,
MD corrugation issue, and Cooling system improvement at Winder zone. With hard work
and determination, and with the help of the co-workers and staff, I managed to not only
provide solutions for the assigned projects successfully, but also managed to engage and
complete two more projects within the designated tenure, which includes prolongation of
corona treatment's effect for film printing and proposition of values of associated
parameters for increasing the production speed of shrink films from 250m/min to the
maximum 300m/min. Recently, I have also experienced an industrial visit at Lotte
Petrochemicals Pakistan. The environment and the state of the art technologies I witnessed
there, intrigued my interest whether it was due to the influence of South Korea's robust
industrial status. This made me realize how essential it is for me as an engineer to keep on
learning and remaining up to date with the recent researches and technologies. It also
ignited a desire in me to learn and understand more about how chemical industries in Korea
do their operations and the reason as to why they do it on a certain way.
I have always taken pride in learning new languages. When I was in eighth grade, I started
learning German with no resources or teacher but with a book I found in my uncle's
collection. Although I could only learn bits at that time, I now am fluent in English, and can
also speak and understand much of Japanese. I have also been learning Korean for some
time and can now understand basic sentences and structures

East Asian cultures have never failed to amaze me. It fascinates me how Korea, being such
a highly developed country, has its rich culture still vibrant throughout the state. Korean
language, its festivals such as "Seollal" and "Chuseok" make me love Korean culture more
and more. I believe there is too much for me to learn from it that can help to make me a
better person. Furthermore, I have proved myself time after time as a good leader
domestically. Emerging as a global leader in a multicultural and competitive environment as
South Korea is a challenge I am really looking forward to.

South Korea has been a pioneer in research and development sector with researches
spreading far and wide in every field of study. The notable researches such as the AmVeh
car that fuels on ammonia, the continuous researches for capturing CO2 and converting it
into fuel since early 2000 and many other prominent contributions in the field of clean
energy and chemical engineering that I have come across have made me realize that more
than a dream, it's my necessity to continue my studies in Korea in order to achieve what I
really want to do and contribute my share to make the society a better and cleaner place to
live.

If given the chance to be accepted in the program, it would not only open limitless
opportunities for me to grow and continue my studies and research for developing a
sustainable environment in the most efficient manner but would also help me in creating a
better future for my family and for both countries.
