Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZohaib Atiq Khan is an Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at UET Lahore and a PhD graduate from the University of Waterloo with eight years of experience spanning academia, industry, and open-source development. He specializes in modeling and optimization of electrochemical energy storage, pioneering algorithms and the first pore-network modelling framework for simulating lithium-ion batteries to improve EV performance and reduce urban fossil-fuel emissions. An active contributor to OpenPNM and PoreSpy, he has fixed mathematical errors, added geometric models, parallelized network extraction, and written tests—work that underpins reproducible porous-structure simulations. He teaches a wide range of courses from machine learning for chemical engineering to reactor design and numerical analysis, bridging computational methods with practical process engineering. Known for translating image-based porous-media characterization into efficient, production-ready Python tools, he combines rigorous research with hands-on software craftsmanship.
