Head of Department Message
Dr. Hamid Ashraf Yousafzai
Due to the rapid global transition to heavily mineral-intensive low-carbon technologies, more mining will need to be conducted in a safe, green, and climate-smart manner as a solution to combat climate change. Through well-structured and committed postgraduate education and research, our goal is to provide industry-essential knowledge for generating new insights and strengthening problem-solving and solution-finding capabilities. Our curriculum is designed in a way that enables students to identify and resolve real-world mining engineering problems. With all my heart, I welcome prospective students, academic/research collaborators, mining corporations and other interested parties to visit our department.
