I am Muhammad Tariq, an architect and assistant professor at CECOS University, Peshawar, with over 8 years of teaching and research experience. I am an alumnus of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s in Urban Climate & Sustainability (2021–2023). My passion is connecting architecture, urban climate, and sustainability to design cooler and more resilient cities. I have published 3 research papers in this field and actively mentor students and colleagues in research and publications. I also founded EcoKoor, an emerging initiative for sustainable urban solutions. My most desirable goal is to grow further in academia and consultancy, contributing internationally to innovative approaches for sustainable urban futures
