Study Plan

Introduction and Intention to Study in China:

My name is _______ and I belong from Pakistan. I recently completed Master Degree in
Environmental Engineering from Jiangsu University situated in Jiangsu province of China.
During my stay at Jiangsu University, I was successful in publishing my research on CuS-
Functionalized Cellulose Based Aerogel for removal of organic dyes in an SCI journal
named as Journal of Applied Polymer Science. With that, I participated in various academic
conferences and won awards such as best presenter and best paper. I also took part in extra-
curricular activities and won Jiangsu University Badminton Championship three times in a
row. My stay in Jiangsu University was full of success stories and that is the basic reason
that I wish to further pursue my doctoral degree in Jiangsu University, China. With strong
knowledge of chemical process engineering, I would like to further extend my studies and
research in process engineering & modeling niche.

Talking about my previous academic background, it was my intense enthusiasm and deep
interest in studies which awarded me with Bachelor in Chemical Process Engineering Degree
from Dawood University of Engineering & Technology, Karachi. I scored 80% marks back
in March 2014 in Chemical Engineering. It came into my knowledge that I scored overall 1st
position in semester 7th and secured 3rd position in semester 5th, later on as per overall score
in this degree; I managed to rank myself among top 5 students in Chemical Engineering
Department. Professors highly appreciated my success and recognized me as ‘Best Presenter’
in whole university as I acquired expert level skills in developing & delivering academic
presentations or seminars in international events organized by university and department.
Due to my fluent English language i actually impressed and engrossed faculty members of
Chemical Engineering Department, because of which they appointed me as an ‘Ambassador
of English Literary Society’ in University.

I am eager to apply for P.h.D. degree in Jiangsu University, China on CSC Scholarship. This
zealous desire aroused in me because of my strong academic background like research
projects I completed, jobs I did so far in relevant industries, studied related subjects and
experiments conducted under supervision of respected Professors. It is now my utmost desire
to pursue my career path to become a good researcher for my country.

Reasons to Study in China:

Research is the hallmark of innovations we see in this century. Such global innovations are
result of foundational facilities provided by country under supervision of highly experienced
people and China is providing these all facilities. I published my research paper in an SCI
journal recently during my stay in Jiangsu University and that happened only because the
Chinese Universities have the facility for international students to conduct the proper
research. This is the major reason that I wish to study further in a Chinese University this
year. It must also be noted that now I can speak Chinese language and have got 180 marks
out of 200 in HSK 2 Chinese language examination. Which means now I can speak basic
Chinese language and I am eager to learn more of it. China is ranked among top advanced
countries because of highly advanced facilities, dedicated researchers, intelligent minds and
facilities government provide to conduct such studies. So this is why every research journal
and magazine feature success stories of Chinese people in every field. As per these grounds i
cannot find any better place than China to proceed in research field of Process Engineering
Modeling and theory. I read about various Chinese Thermodynamic and Process engineering
professors in magazines of Icheme, London & heard from fellows and my teachers in
seminars that Chinese professors are the most advanced persons in process engineering and
modeling research niche under Research Center of Fluid Machinery Engineering and
Technology, Power Engineering & Engineering Thermophysics department. Not only this
but also it is a matter of fact that China is most secure country having nice environment
feasible for us to study. With that Pakistan-China friendship compelled me to move ahead
and it feels like China is our most friendly country where people are so humble and friendly.
My parents feel comfortable to allow me to proceed China because China is safest country &
strong emerging largest economy of the world. Chinese universities are Top ranked and
recognized as prestigious research institutes around globe. So these are the reasons that
compelled me to choose China again for my Doctoral degree Research.

Research Field Direction and Plans:

I am aware of Industrial and domestic process engineering challenges as I have been internee
in two of the top most Oil Refineries of Pakistan. There I was able to polish my process
engineering and modeling skills by using software’s such as Aspen HYSYS, KORF
Hydraulics and other listed below. I recently carried out practical research in Environmental
department of Jiangsu University on waste water treatment and it was accepted for
publication in SCI journal. My research was accepted for publication in journal of applied
polymer science (DOI: 10.1002/app.47404) and now I wish to further extend my research to
synthesize similar but more innovative catalysts materials. I would like to work on a project
assigned on process engineering so I can further extend my research work. I am open to the
ideas of working on development or improvement of pumps, heat exchangers or other
process engineering equipments to provide better performance.

I am also interested to develop a modeling system capable to detect certain pollutants in

waste water via computerized simulation monitoring system just like Aspen HYSYS capable
of showing virtual process industry calculations about pollutant type and quantity analysis
using magnetic components.

Once I’ll be able to classify and quantify the pollutants from sample of Textile & Refinery
Waster water then a thorough research to eradicate these pollutants can be performed with
help of bio-organic catalysts. Moreover, I am highly interested to initiate pre-research on
pumps, values and other hydraulic equipment’s so their work efficiency can be further
improved under harsh or challenging conditions.

I am excited to start my doctoral degree in China this year and this degree & research in
China will be helpful for me when I’ll come back to Pakistan and implement my experiences
to elevate quality standards in Pakistani industries.

Professional Experience, Memberships & Awards:

In Jiangsu University, I was able to work on the synthesis of Metal Chalcogenide functionalized on the
surface of an aerogel prepared by cellulose and this research was helpful in degradation of organic dyes
from waste water. This work was published in an SCI journal as stated above. During my bachelor degree,
my research project “Troubleshooting of industrial Binary Component Distillation Rectification Pilot Plant”
in graduation was actually sponsored by National Oil Refinery and co-supervised by their engineering
services managing director with my university supervisor Professor Ghulam Ullah. The notion of our project
commenced with the literature survey and problems that caught our attention in pilot plant’s chiller in early
stage and experimented solution to resolve this issue was proposed using Aspen HYSYS Simulation
software and Korf Hydraulics which lead us to find out the root cause of the issue and it was proposed
successfully to the laboratory which later on they adapted and the pilot plant came back into life once again.
It was a successful project indeed in which I got extensive industrial knowledge because of the industrial
tours and got a chance to work with extremely professional and highly experienced production engineers in
both Attock & BYCO oil Refineries. In the end, I was awarded with appreciation certificate from University
Chemical Engineering Department and Professional Experience Certificate from BYCO Oil Refinery.
Another final year project I was co-engaged in was about Industrial Waste Water treatment & Carbon
Dioxide Reduction in flue gases for which we conducted literature survey.

Moreover, I am qualified member of Icheme, London. [Institute of Chemical Engineers Society, London]
Beside this, I also have Pakistan Engineering Council’s membership which is only awarded to those
successful industrial engineers who completed degrees and have successful research projects.
