University of Engeineering and Technology | Pakistan

Dr. Muhammad Sarfraz is an accomplished chemical engineer whose research centers on membrane science, polymer nanocomposites, and carbon capture technologies. Currently serving as Associate Professor in the Department of Polymer & Process Engineering at UET Lahore, he previously held roles as Assistant Professor (2015–2022) and as Lecturer B at KFUPM, Saudi Arabia (2012–2015). His academic training includes a PhD in Chemical Engineering from KFUPM (dissertation on mixed-matrix membranes for CO₂ separation) and an MSc in Polymer Engineering from UET Lahore. To date, he has published extensively—authoring dozens of peer-reviewed journal articles on topics such as mixed‐matrix membranes, biochar-impregnated membranes, MOF-based composites, antifouling designs, and nanoferrite catalysts. According to Google Scholar, he has 452 citations, with an h-index of 12, reflecting the impact and reach of his work. His recent accepted works include studies on Zn–Co nanoferrite membranes for wastewater treatment, bio-MOF applications in carbon capture and water treatment, and enhanced CO₂ separation through COF‐infused carbon molecular sieve membranes, demonstrating both depth and breadth in sustainable materials research
