Humayoun Akram

Assistant Professor
Summary

I transitioned to academia after working for more than six years in the industry. This experience taught me the value of connecting academic research with practical, real-world applications to address pressing challenges. I firmly believe that interdisciplinary research plays a crucial role in tackling Pakistan’s social and economic issues, such as water scarcity, energy crises, and urbanization. By integrating knowledge from diverse fields, academia can offer innovative, sustainable solutions that directly impact communities and foster long-term development. My industry background has reinforced the importance of bridging the gap between theory and practice, ensuring that research not only advances knowledge but also contributes to the socio-economic growth of Pakistan.
