Bio
Omer Waqar (Ph.D., P.Eng)
I have been teaching at the university level since 2008 and Amjad Iqbal has been one of my best students since his undergrad. One thing I still remember, he never hesitated to question. He is always curious to learn and implement new things and it is the reason he brings an innovative flair to the projects he takes. He has proven his technical strengths as well as soft-skills by a sequence of achievements at a quite fast pace. He pursued his career in renewable and hybrid energy sources. Considering current environmental issues and energy crisis, I believe we need young engineers like Amjad who understand energy needs and environmental challenges and always take a balanced approach. Keep up the good work!

I happened to work with Amjad during some campaigns at the school. I found him to be a highly motivated individual with clear professional goals, who doesn't shy away from difficult situations. He's very knowledgeable, punctual and professional. Any organization would be lucky to have him on board.
