Dear Rehan Bhai, I hope you will be keeping well. You have inspired a lot of Pakistanis through your work and interviews. I have been following you and watching your videos from the last 7-8 years. I am a university professor working currently at Jazan University in Saudi Arabia. Since my undergraduate in Pakistan, I always had a curiosity about how scientific knowledge and research can bring economic prosperity. And even if scientific research at the university is linked to economic benefits or it is just a bluff. We often used to hear about the importance of science in technological development. However, there were few examples of successful use in Pakistan at that time and even today, except in IT. So, when I went for masters and PhD studies in plasma technology to UK, I had an interest in how these are applied and utilized in the local economy. Fortunately, the research groups where I was working, several successful startups were developed currently and in the past. My supervisor's first graduate student had developed several successful companies in plasma technology. I had realized that more than anything, the approach and attitude from the beginning was very different in researchers who eventually developed a successful product/application/company. Generally, university faculty in Pakistan is motivated to get the maximum number of research publications and care mostly about the impact factor of journals and citations only. Regardless if their work has any impact on the local economy and solves any real world or domestic problems. During my job in the last six years, I had tried to develop solutions which are useful for commercial applications and can address real world or local problems. By working using this approach on different problems, alhamdullilah now we had success in several areas, one of which you may see in the news. Alhamdullilah for this work in the news, I have been invited as an invited speaker at the most prestigious global conference in plasma technology. Also, I am collaborating with several leading western universities. These would be great accomplishments for a scientist at my stage in the career working even at a good western university. None of these were my goals, but I achieved them without any effort, working with a very limited budget and in a new university not reputed even in KSA or the region. Several plasma experts had suggested this technology may have a huge potential in commercial applications, which was our main motivation. I want to share my story with scientists and university faculty from Pakistan, trying to inspire them to focus on the real world and local problems. It takes some time and patience, but once one is able to get a breakthrough, it is worth the efforts. Best regards, Mujahid Zaka
