A proud moment for Department of Biomedical Engineering, Riphah International University Lahore campus.
He is indeed a shinning star and among the best students.
From a remote village in Jaboka, District Okara, to one of the world’s leading research universities, the story of Muhammad Hasan Masrur is a powerful reminder that brilliance can emerge from anywhere in Pakistan.
Growing up in a rural community where opportunities were limited, Hasan had to fight for every step of his education. He completed his Bachelor’s in Biomedical Engineering from Riphah International University, graduating with an exceptional CGPA of 4.00/4.00 , a perfect score that very few students achieve. During his undergraduate years, Hasan didn’t just aim to pass exams. He pushed himself into serious academic work, with his research published in international journals, stepping onto the global scientific stage while still an undergraduate.
Outside the classroom, Hasan committed himself to service and impact. He has volunteered with multiple organisations, contributed as a United Nations Volunteer, and actively serves as a volunteer with Amnesty International.
Today, Hasan has achieved a milestone that many only dream of: he has secured a fully funded PhD position in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Glasgow, funded by the prestigious Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). This highly competitive funding covers his full tuition fees and provides a living stipend, recognising him as one of the brightest emerging researchers in his field.
Coming from a remote village, the road was anything but easy — financial constraints, lack of exposure, and limited resources were constant barriers. But through relentless hard work, discipline, and unwavering belief in his goals, Muhammad Hasan Masrur carved his own path from Jaboka’s narrow streets to the global research arena.
His journey is not just a personal victory. It is a win for Pakistan’s emerging talent. Hasan stands as an inspiration for every student in rural Pakistan who dares to dream beyond their surroundings.
