Waseem Ashraf Qureshi

Inventor, CTO & Co-founder at Kilowatt Labs

Waseem is the inventor of all of Kilowatt Labs' technologies.

Waseem is the youngest ever recipient of the National Science Award in Pakistan, awarded at the age of 15. He has subsequently received several other such national accolades.

Waseem leads the Company's invention and technology improvement programs, which are developing disruptive technologies for other industries and continually improving the technologies already invented. His brilliance lies in using existing parts and materials (usually 'off-the-shelf') and bringing efficiencies through innovative and creative software design. Operating in a resource-constrained environment while growing up, Waseem has always believed that there is a better and cheaper way of doing things.

Waseem has invented and designed prolifically in various capacities starting with the invention of the first uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system in Pakistan in 1984 at the age of 14, which he successfully commercialized the following year at the age of 15.

He also invented, designed, and launched the first car tracking system in Pakistan, as well as several telecom applications. He is a prolific researcher, designer, and developer of new technologies and now is focused on energy products, including the development of wireless charging technology, the first fast-charging battery, and the first low-energy, compressor-free air-conditioning system. He has also designed a solar system to withstand extreme temperatures for the Pakistan army.

He is married with 3 children, lives in Dubai, and is a graduate in electronics from the University of Engineering & Technology, Lahore, Pakistan.
