BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Munawar Shaik joined the Chemical & Petroleum Engg. Dept. at UAEU as Associate Professor in Aug 2019. Dr. Shaik obtained his B.E. and M.E. in Chemical Engineering from Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani (India) in 1997 & 2000. He worked for one year in a petrochemical plant of Gas Authority of India Ltd. (GAIL). He did Ph.D. from Department of Chemical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay (India) during 2000-2005. He worked as a Post-Doctoral Research Associate at Princeton University (USA) from Feb 2005 to May 2007, before joining IIT Delhi where he served as Assistant Professor (June 2007 to Dec 2012) and Associate Professor (Dec 2012 to Aug 2019). He spent a sabbatical year (Jul 2017 - Jul 2018) at Petroleum Institute (Khalifa University), Abu Dhabi (UAE).
He has developed novel mathematical programming models for solving several problems in process systems engineering including: planning and scheduling of batch and continuous operations, process design, heat and water networks, superstructure optimization and evolutionary computation, thus improving the resource utilization of several manufacturing processes including refineries, petrochemicals, pulp and paper, polymers, pipeless plants, biopharmaceuticals, and other fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) plants.
