4. Muhammad Mahmood Ul Hassan, Pakistan, D1 Student
- Position: Vice President for Public Relations
Greetings, everyone! I'm Muhammad Mahmood Ul Hassan, but you can call me Hassan—I think it's the easiest part of my name. Hailing from Pakistan, I embarked on my Hokkaido University journey in 2021 as a Master's student at the Geomechanics lab. Fast forward to 2023, and I humbly hold the title of a D1 student pursuing a Ph.D.
Before officially joining the e3 family, I used to follow their events closely. The allure of their activities, from the engaging orientations, welcome parties and unforgettable summer trip, convinced me that being part of e3 was a gateway to creating lasting memories with fellow students. So, here I am, thrilled to be the Vice President for Public Relations.
I look forward to fostering a sense of camaraderie among students and easing the transition for newcomers. Let's make our time at Hokkaido University memorable and enjoyable together as part of the vibrant e3 community. Can't wait to meet you all!
Warm regards,
Hassan.
