Adeel was born (Oct 1990) in Lahore, the capital city of arts, culture, and history of Pakistan. Nine months after he moved to and resided in Southern Ireland (Dublin, Sligo and Galway) where his father worked as a junior doctor. He lived there until the age of 6 before returning to Lahore to stay with his grandparents for a year; before once again moving to the UK in 1997; where he has lived in Birmingham, Bolton and eventually Oldham.

He underwent his higher education in Oldham at The Hulme Grammar Schools and Sixth Form where he won numerous awards including The Young Student of Year (Oldham and Rochdale) for his pivotal role as the manging director of a Young Enterprise company by the name of TiAmo. Upon completion of his A-Levels he decided to pursue his interest in the energy sector, particularly in renewable and sustainable technologies, by undertaking Chemical Engineering with Business Management at The University of Manchester in 2008.

Having graduated with a First Class MEng (Honours) degree in 2012 he was offered a PhD scholarship from EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) and given the prestigious PDS Award (President’s Doctoral Scholar) – awarded to the top 3% of researchers at The University of Manchester. He segued straight into the PhD research topic of “Enhancing the cold flow properties of biodiesel via heterogeneous catalysis” where he went on to spend the next four years of his life, contributing at international conferences and through a review article paper in the Fuel journal. His research endeavoured to search for and synthesise a renewable fuel source in the form of biodiesel from waste materials and non-edible crops to address environmental and social welfare concerns associated with geo-political instability, dwindling petrochemical resources and global warming.

During his eight-year stint in academia, his extracurricular activities involved working closely with NGO charities such as UNICEF as well as other local community organisations. When he wasn’t in the lab, library or teaching he was found delivering inspiring and empowering seminars on research and enterprise, playing football, hockey, cricket, badminton and globe-trotting!

Alongside his PhD he undertook the challenge of strengthening academia and bio based research by establishing an academic based social enterprise known as BREC (later BioREC). Having obtained his Doctorate of Philosophy in 2016, he focused his energies on realising his dreams through two of his latest and most exciting entrepreneurial ventures; as the CEO of Bio-Economy Consultancy and the founder of The Academy of Champions. Upon analysis Asia offered the greatest potential to realise his dreams hence he took up the opportunity and challenge by moving back to his place of birth Pakistan at the end of 2017. With the healthcare sector and alternative medicine close to his heart, he authored a book titled “The Ultimate Bioreactor: The 4 Key Factors to Optimal Health in 2018”

Having been blessed with so much as a chemical engineer, scientific researcher, social entrepreneur, holistic naturopath and life coach at a relatively young age; he realises that he has a huge responsibility and is likely to be subject great accountability. For him this is just the beginning and would welcome you all to be a part of his life journey.
