Zubair Riaz

Zubair Riaz is a researcher affiliated with the School of Chemical Engineering at the Department of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering. His work contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals through research in chemical engineering thermodynamics and phase equilibria.

• Doctoral Researcher in Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering
• Active in thermodynamics, phase equilibria, and chemical recycling
• Recipient of a personal grant for postgraduate studies (2024)
• Collaborator at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Jan–Mar 2024)

Research Interests: Zubair’s research focuses on liquid-liquid, vapor-liquid, and solid-liquid equilibria in complex chemical systems, particularly those involving ε-Caprolactam, water, n-Hexadecane, and o-Xylene. His work addresses thermodynamic modeling, activity coefficients, and phase interface behavior, with applications in distillation processes and sustainable chemical recycling.

Scientific Awards:

• Personal grant for postgraduate studies (2024)

Conference Participation: Zubair presented research at conferences in June 2024 and August 2024, including work on upgrading chemically recycled plastic waste via distillation.
