I decided to pursue a career in engineering to develop solutions for climate change and pollution, and I have been working in this field since 2003. I hold a PhD in circular economy and have developed the Orycycle model for perpetual recycling at the atomic level. My Postdoc is in advanced biomanufacturing. Currently, I am working on strategies to transition linear economies to Orycycle economies, which could address the issues of climate change and pollution. I have become a scientist out of necessity – to find a cure for Level-3 (Classic) Autism.

I have been a writer by aptitude since my early teens. I started by writing about education and other issues that were not commonly discussed in Pakistan – socio-politico-military subjects. Although I prefer to write hard sci-fi and techno-thriller novels, I will continue to write about the afflictions of the common folk in developing countries within the social genre. “The Scriptwriter” and “Ibil” are two of my novels that were written in 2014 that delve deeply into geopolitics in South Asia and Central Asia. The plot of the novel “Ibil” revolves around the withdrawal of Coalition Forces from Afghanistan during a global coronavirus pandemic and the Seven Day War, during which the Taliban conquer Afghanistan. “The Scriptwriter” focuses on Pakistan’s socio-politico evolution over a period of fifty years.

Life as an Engineer
Despite the successful publication of over 10 books during my late teens, I chose to pursue engineering to address climate change and pollution. I firmly believe that each member of society has a responsibility to contribute productively towards societal improvement. Our goal should be to leave our planet in a better state than we found it.
I pioneered the concept of the Orycycle economy and invented several renewable technologies, including Lignik, bio-solar cells, and renewable DME. Lignik, the world’s first 100% renewable and recyclable biosynthetic wood made from CO₂, is a groundbreaking innovation for the construction industry. Specifically designed for low-cost construction, Lignik aims to address the housing shortages in developing countries.
Throughout my career, I have worked to develop solutions that mitigate climate change at a meaningful rate, often struggling against opposition from others in the same field. Despite the claims of working to save the world, I have yet to meet a single person in the renewables and technology industries and research who is truly dedicated to this cause. Everyone seems to be there either to get rich or to publish papers. Saving future generations requires sacrifices—whether professional, time-related, or monetary—and no one is willing to make those sacrifices. Instead, everyone seeks to capitalise on climate change for personal gain, which is the fundamental reason we face an uncontrollable greenhouse effect.
For me, I’ve had to make professional, monetary, and time sacrifices to achieve my goals, and I continue to make these sacrifices because all meaningful solutions require them. Breaking a glass jar does not require sacrifice, but putting the shards back together is a thankless task.
I have lost count of the times I have been told, “You are not here to help others,” by both low-ranking individuals and leaders in the industry who claim to tackle climate change. While opposition from the fossil fuel industry is well-known, there is an inherent lack of genuine effort within the renewables and climate mitigation community. They often showcase the appearance of work without doing the real work. Moreover, they are vehemently opposed to anyone genuinely working to tackle climate change. For some, it makes them look bad; for others, it is because they cannot capitalise on it to get rich. And for others still, it is simply because they are not the ones with the solution, so they are not interested. Finally, there are those who have zero technical background but have become leaders in the climate change mitigation community. They are now always afraid to make decisions on technology because they have zero understanding. This is an oft representation of today’s world where incompetency promotes one.

Life as a Scientist (Autism)
In pursuit of a cure for Level-3 (Classic) Autism, I found myself compelled to delve into the world of medicine and biology – subjects that I hated during my school days. This journey led me to establish an entirely new scientific subfield, Neurophology, which posits photons as a fundamental nutrient in human brain development and enhancement.

Our research has provided conclusive evidence that Classic Autism or Level-3 Autism, characterised by severe sleep disorders, intense meltdowns, hyperactivity, attention deficiency, and communication challenges, is indeed curable. We have found that when provided with a pollutant-free environment and diet, along with adequate solar exposure, the symptoms of this condition can be significantly alleviated. Sleeping patterns normalize, hyperactivity decreases, tantrums dissipate, attention and concentration improve, and children begin to communicate.

Our peer-reviewed keynote address on this topic is now available as a publication on ResearchGate.
My peer-reviewed keynote address is on YouTube.

Nureeva and Tangora is an autofiction novel, inspired by the real-life struggles and experiences of our immigrant family as we raised our children and discovered that photon deficiency was the underlying cause. The first few chapters can be read for free on Amazon.

Please note: While Level-3 Autism and common autism have similar names, they are quite different. Level-3 Autism is a very severe disease. And our entire research work was focused on Level-3 Autism and not on common autism. We are now hoping other scientists would take our research work forward and stabilize the molecules in pill form for curing Level-3 Autism. Unfortunately, this area is beyond our area of expertise.

Life as a Migrant
Unless born into a wealthy family, life is inherently challenging, and it becomes even more difficult as a migrant. While survival as an individual migrant is possible, it becomes exponentially harder as a patriarch with dependents. Like the majority of other migrants, I had to restart my career from scratch. It’s disheartening to see that all my previous life’s work amounts to basically nothing. It’s also stressful because I have to compete with youngsters half my age and do much more to regain a senior position, all while taking care of my family members. Additionally, the constant struggle of never truly being accepted as part of the “team” is always present. One must overcome many stigmas, preconceptions, and barriers. So, it’s tough but not impossible, as my life evidently demonstrates. These struggles and life experiences are also reflected in my books.

Non-Fiction
Other than Autism (four books), my non-fiction titles cover the topics of: Biodegradable Plastics; Biographene; Negative Emission Technologies; Circular Economy; Climate Change; History; Nanotechnology; Neurophology; Orycycling; Photonics; Religion; and Renewable Energy.

Back to my life as a writer
After 20 years, with each of the above two challenges taking 10 years of my life, I have returned to the world of fiction. I have completed five books focusing on Australia and Autism, as well as hard sci-fi. They are set to be published in 2025-26.

You will be notified when the books come out later this year.
