Dr. Haneef credits AIT for the knowledge gained during graduate
studies, and the advice offered to him at the Environmental Engineering
and Management (EEM) program. “The graduate training at AIT-EEM
provided me with the state-of-the-art tools, techniques and practices
that assisted me in pushing the envelope,” he says. Describing his
studies at AIT as “amazing,” Dr. Haneef recalls that there were
challenges along the way, and that he still “reflects on the advice and
knowledge gained during graduate studies.” Kudos to all for making my
time at AIT memorable, enjoyable and extremely productive, and thank
you for contributing to my career, he says.
Dr. Haneef, who was earlier with the Energy Resources Control Board
(ERCB), completed his Master’s from AIT’s Environmental Engineering and
Management (EEM) in 1997. His research interests are solutions for
removal of toxic heavy metals and organics from oil sands waste as well
as tailings treatment technologies. He is leading the “Green Chemistry
and Green Engineering Initiative” at the School of Sustainable Building
and Environmental Management at NAIT. Following his appointment, he was
interviewed in Tech Life
Mag, apart from being featured in the Winter 2011 issue of the NAIT
Newsletter.
