Biography:

Dr. Farrukh Raza Amin is a distinguished academic and researcher specializing in Chemical Engineering and Technology. He is currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry, COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI), in Islamabad, Pakistan. Dr. Amin earned his Ph.D. in 2020 from the Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT), Beijing, China, where he focused on anaerobic digestion (AD) technology, specifically the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into bioenergy. Following his Ph.D., he completed a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship in 2024 at the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology (TIB), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Tianjin, China, under the Belt and Road Fellowship Initiative. His postdoctoral work further expanded his expertise in anaerobic acidification of organic wastes and biochemical production, with a focus on sustainable energy solutions and organic waste management.

During his time at BUCT, Dr. Amin played a pivotal role in leading collaborative research projects, including the "National Key Research Plan for Strategic International Cooperation in Scientific and Technological Innovation," sponsored by China's Ministry of Science and Technology. This project aimed to enhance AD technology to improve food security and the efficiency of pilot-scale plants. Additionally, he led a project on "Biochar Production from Agri-Waste by Fixed Bed Pyrolysis," co-funded by the Natural National Science Foundation of China and the Pakistan Science Foundation, focusing on converting organic waste into biochar for environmental benefits.

Dr. Amin's research excellence is reflected in his numerous publications in reputable SCI journals and his receipt of the Excellent International Research Student award from the Chinese government. Through his postdoctoral research and academic contributions, he continues working toward sustainable scientific solutions for global challenges. His dedication to advancing innovation and collaboration underlines his noteworthy career in addressing critical issues like energy sustainability and waste management.
