Dear Admission Committee,

I Associate Professor, Faculty of Chemical Engineering in NED University of Engineering and Technology,
have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Muhammad Ahmed for the past four years as a teacher and
research advisor. I am delighted to provide my highest possible reference for him as one of highly
motivated individual and hardworking student to recommend his eligibility for USEFP Fulbright MS
Application.
He is an outstanding student who have made his mark in my subjects which include thermodynamics,
mass transfer and petroleum refining and petrochemicals during his university career. Based on his
grades, attendance and class participation, I would rate his academic performance as exceptional. From
the very first day I got to know him, he showed his hard working and dedication skills alongside with
technical knowledge which is top notch.
I supervised his research based Final Year Project (FYP) in industrial collaboration with Midas Safety on
“Development of Non-conventional Cut-Resistant Coatings for Safety Gloves using Nanotechnology”,
and produced promising results and improved Cut Index Level in a team. He does not hesitate in
investing his time for his work and make sure to meet his deadlines way before. He always took initiative
during his project and coursework and I have witnessed his leadership skills on many occasions and
found him to be the most responsible personnel. The other students working with him commented
favorably about working with him. He gets along well with everyone and had the ability to compromise
with team members which shows his adaptability skills.
His seriousness towards his career can be determined by his dedication and commitment to his lifelong
learning habit. He really goes the extra mile to learn and develop himself and that is why he is applying
for this scholarship in order to grow even further. He is also emotionally matured and have the ability to
think rationally and connect the ideas with a proper logic. I believe, his well-rounded approach to
university education and research has fed his intellect more than anything else and he also never backed
off from any teaching situation and have help other students in clearing their concepts and queries.
In conclusion, I would highly recommend him for the USEFP Fulbright MS Application. His performance
in my class and research is an indication of how he’d perform in the MS Chemical & Process Engineering.
He’d be a valuable asset to your program and will definitely be a fruitful resource for your university. I
sincerely hope that you will accept him for this application. If you have any queries regarding this
recommendation, I will be glad to be of any assistance you may need.
