Biography

Izaz obtained his bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Following his interests in Aerial vehicles and his passion for sustainabale solutions, he worked on the design of a Solar Powered Quadcopter during his Bachelor's Thesis. He then worked in the same university as a Lab engineer at the Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Lab for 7 months.

To pursue an MSc degree, Izaz came to Europe after winning the prestigious Erasmus Mundus scholarship and was admitted to DENSYS program. He gained diverse expertise during his studies and stayed in three different countries, i.e., France, Spain and Sweden. At the University of Lorraine, Izaz focused on Decentralized Smart Energy Systems. He then went to the Universitat Politechnica De Catalunya to deepen his knowledge of thermodynamics and thermal energy systems.

During his Master's Thesis, Izaz also worked for the Polestar company on the design of the thermal mangement system of an electric vehicle. He developed a methodology, using StarCCM+, to efficiently simulate the thermal behaviour of an EV battery pack during fast-charging.

Izaz joined the Propulsion and Power group at TU Delft in 2024 to work on highly integrated thermal mangement systems for aircraft propulsion and power units.

Outside work, Izaz likes to play chess. He is fond of pakistani cuisine and cooking is his creative escape. His chicken pulao is particularly popular among his friends.
