Beyond the Classroom — Alumni Story

Yasir Arafat Khan

Chemical Process Engineer

BASF · Ludwigshafen, Germany

“A classroom habit of rigour, now a career of it.”

About Yasir Arafat Khan

Yasir Arafat Khan has built his career in engineering, currently as a chemical Process Engineer at BASF in Ludwigshafen, where his work centres on delivering precise, safety-critical engineering.

His journey ran from Cambridge mathematics in Chattogram to a MSc Chemical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University, and from there into professional life as a process Engineer. Each step widened the canvas; none changed the method — define the problem precisely, then solve it honestly.

He remains a firm believer that early foundations compound across a lifetime.

In Their Words

“Reactors balance like equations — badly, unless you are careful.”— Yasir Arafat Khan

A Journey That Began in the Classroom

Yasir studied Cambridge mathematics with Jahangir Sir in Chattogram, where the habit of understanding before memorising first took root. This sample text should be replaced with the real story of the student's time at The Mathematica.
