Dr Muhammad Sagir is currently working at the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Gujrat, Pakistan. He is involved in four different research projects as PI, Co-PI, or collaborator, and has participated in numerous prior research projects in various capacities. He has published more than 50 journal papers in peer-reviewed international journals and over 40 papers in international conference proceedings. Throughout his career, he has worked on or led teams on a wide variety of R&D projects, e.g. chemical EOR projects using surfactants or other chemicals.

Dr Muhammad Mushtaq is a leading researcher at the ADRIC chemical EOR laboratory for carbonate reservoirs. He joined ADRIC after completing his PhD at the UTP, Malaysia. His chief area of interest is the formulation, design and evaluation of surfactants for EOR applications involving wettability alteration. He is also currently leading a research group on using polymers for EOR applications inSP and Foam-Polymer projects. Dr. Muhammad has several publications and a book chapter on surfactants and polymers in EOR applications to his credit.

Prof M Suleman Tahir is currently working as a Professor of Chemical Engineering and Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, University of Gujrat, Pakistan. He received his PhD from the TU Graz, Austria, in 2011. He has published 40 papers in ISI-indexed international journals. He has an extensive background in chemical engineering research, especially in the field of energy. Currently, he is involved in several research and technology development projects as PI or Co-PI.

Dr Muhammad Bilal Tahir is a researcher at the University of Gujrat, Pakistan and is currently working on nanotechnology for the oil and gas industry, as well as colloids & surfactants. His initial work was on photocatalysis-based processes for pollutant decontamination, adsorption of heavy metals in water and oil, and energyproduction. He has many publications in prominent ISI-indexed international journals.

Dr Abdul Ravoof Shaik is a leading researcher in the area of SCAL and chemical EOR for carbonate reservoirs. After finishing his ME and PhD at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, he joined ADNOC research and innovation center in 2014. His research chiefly focuses on fluid transport through porous media. He has received a Star Fellowship Award from the SPE, and an APA Award from the Australian government, for his exceptional research.
