WRITTEN TESTIMONIAL

ALI HAIDER KHAN
Ziauddin University played a defining role in my journey by
providing me with a strong technical foundation and, more importantly, a
mindset of discipline, curiosity, and problem-solving. The hands-on exposure,
faculty mentorship, and collaborative environment helped me develop the
confidence to tackle real-world healthcare challenges beyond the classroom.
After graduation, I gained experience through research and
academic roles, including serving as a Research Assistant (RA) and
a Teaching Assistant (TA) experience that sharpened my ability to explain
complex concepts, manage responsibilities, and deliver results under pressure.
Professionally, I also worked with Madsci, a company developing brain-implant
technologies, where I gained exposure to high-stakes engineering and innovation
in neurotechnology (with backing from major global investors, including Google).
Academically, I continued to push forward and was accepted
to UIUC, pursuing a joint graduate pathway that spanned
both UIUC and UIC in Biomedical Engineering. This broadened my
research exposure and strengthened my multidisciplinary approach. Along the
way, I also progressed through the selection process with Microsoft;
however, I couldn???t pursue that opportunity due to visa-related
restrictions, a challenge that taught me the importance of
resilience and adaptability.
My advice to current students is simple: start early, pursue
internships, research, projects, mentors, and effective communication. Ziauddin
can be a powerful launchpad if you combine your education with initiative. I???m
proud to represent Ziauddin and look forward to giving back through mentorship
and student support.
All thanks to Almighty Allah. This is dedicated to my Parents. Huge thanks to
teachers like Prof. Fahad Azim, Prof. Salman, Prof. Taha Mustaq, Prof. Ali
Asghar, Prof. Saad Jawaid Khan, Prof. Faraz Jawad, Prof. Hira Zahid, and Prof.
Shaheer Mirza for their support throughout the entire journey.
