Ismail Global and Hamid Ismail Foundation are proud to announce their support of Junaid Memon, a highly talented scholar who will be pursuing a DPhil in Engineering Science at the prestigious University of Oxford.
This milestone reflects both Memon’s personal achievements and the commitment of Ismail Global and Hamid Ismail Foundation to empowering Pakistan’s brightest minds and driving technological progress.
A product of Pakistan’s public education system, Junaid Memon graduated with a degree in electronics engineering from NED University of Engineering and Technology in Karachi, where he earned a gold medal for his outstanding performance. He later completed a master’s degree in electrical engineering from North Carolina State University as a Fulbright scholar, specializing in instrumentation and control systems.
Now, with the generous backing of Ismail Global and Hamid Ismail Foundation, Junaid is preparing to embark on the next phase of his academic journey at Oxford University. His DPhil research will focus on groundbreaking advancements in multi-agent systems, an area with significant potential to impact Pakistan’s technological landscape.
In addition to his academic success, Junaid has been at the forefront of engineering research and practice in Pakistan. As a co-lead on the Karachi Water Project, he played a pivotal role in developing a scalable network of smart water flow meters aimed at addressing the city’s critical water management challenges. His work on smart solutions for infrastructure has earned him recognition as an emerging leader in Pakistan’s engineering sector.
Junaid’s passion for education extends beyond his research. He has taught engineering at Habib University in Karachi, where he was awarded the Distinguished Award in Teaching Excellence. Through his work, he aims to inspire the next generation of Pakistani engineers to make meaningful contributions to the country’s development.
“We are proud to support Junaid Memon in his pursuit of a DPhil at Oxford,” said a representative from Ismail Global. “His innovative research and passion for education reflect the values that both Ismail Global and Hamid Ismail Foundation hold dear. We are confident that his contributions will have a lasting impact on Pakistan’s future.”
As Junaid prepares to begin his DPhil, his journey stands as a testament to the power of education and the importance of supporting talented individuals who are dedicated to advancing Pakistan’s development through technology and research.
