Biography

Dr. Khubab Shaker earned his PhD in Textile Engineering from the National Textile University (NTU), Faisalabad, in 2018. His academic journey began with a strong focus on woven fabrics and textile reinforcements for composite materials during his undergraduate studies, which evolved into the development of functional polymeric composites during his Master's and PhD research. His core research interests include woven fabrics and their comfort properties, textile reinforcements for composite materials, biocomposites, sustainable development, and mechanical characterization.

With over fifteen years of professional experience, Dr. Shaker began his career as an Assistant Weaving Manager, serving for 2 years and 9 months in roles involving fabric testing, new developments, and production planning. He joined NTU in December 2012 as a Lecturer and was promoted to Assistant Professor in December 2018. From January 2021 to June 2025, he also served as Chairman of the Department of Materials at NTU.
Dr. Shaker has an extensive research portfolio, with over 90 papers published in reputed international journals and more than 30 talks delivered at national and international conferences. He has edited six books and authored one, with two additional books currently in the publication process. He has contributed 26 book chapters to volumes published by recognized publishers, and six more chapters are under review.
In postgraduate supervision, he has successfully guided 11 MS theses as supervisor and 17 as co-supervisor, with 2 MS projects currently in progress. He has co-supervised two PhD candidates and is presently supervising three ongoing PhD research projects. His research has attracted substantial funding, securing Rs. 14.165 million as Principal Investigator and Rs. 208.298 million as Co-Principal Investigator from various industries and government agencies.
Internationally, Dr. Shaker was awarded the prestigious JESH Fellowship and conducted research at the Technical University of Leoben, Austria, in 2024. He also served as a Research Fellow at Prince Sultan University, Saudi Arabia, for one year.
Dr. Shaker is registered as a Professional Engineer with the Pakistan Engineering Council and holds memberships with several professional bodies, including the Institution of Engineers, Pakistan; the International Society for Development and Sustainability (Japan) as a Fellow; the Society of Plastics Engineers (USA); and the Materials Research Society (USA). He has held various editorial roles with scientific journals and currently serves on the Editorial Board of *Discover Sustainability*.
