About Fellow-Advisor

Welcome to Fellow-Advisor

Hello and welcome! Fellow-Advisor is a new born project, which aims to be your dedicated guide to navigating life in Germany, whether you’re an international student, a new worker, or simply someone dreaming of a life here. Our mission is to provide you with the insights, stories, and advice you need to make your journey to Germany as smooth and successful as possible.

Our Story

Fellow-Advisor was born out of personal experience. As an engineer, PhD candidate, and previous lecturer at the University of Duisburg-Essen, I, Hasan Idrees, embarked on my own journey from my home country to Germany few years ago. After my graduation from my bachelor, I thought that moving to Germany for study is almost impossible, for that I was lacking money, time and expertise. However, with a leap of faith, good qualifications and some luck, I managed to get a full scholarship to Germany. Armed with a scholarship and a dream, I navigated the complexities of moving to a new country. The challenges I faced and the successes I celebrated inspired me to start Fellow-Advisor, with the hope of making the journey easier for others.

About Me, Hasan Idrees

My journey to Germany was filled with learning and growth. From acclimating to a new culture to achieving academic and professional milestones, my experiences have shaped me into who I am today. Through Fellow-Advisor, I aim to share these experiences, offering a blend of personal anecdotes and practical advice to help you carve out your own success story in Germany.
In the last decade I’ve grown my skills in:

  • Water Engineering (management, treatment and supply)
  • IT / Web development
  • Problem solving
  • Leadership
  • Telling narratives that motivate (that’s what others tell me).

Thanks my hardworking, commitment and back paid Karmas, I can say that I have a successful career runway. Twice award-winning. Along the way, I enjoyed doing diverse tasks during my job such as:

  • Being the chief operating officer and the responsible at DastN GmbH for IT conculting.
  • Being responsible for four research projects at the university of Duisburg-Essen in Germany.
  • Teaching two engineering courses at the university of Duisburg-Essen for bachelor’s and master’s students.
  • Supervising several research master theses.
  • Supporting and guiding students before, during and after their study.

When I am not at work, with my lovely family or my close fiends I like to spend the time doing one of my spare-time hobbies such as a Blogger or amateur web developer.

What Makes Fellow-Advisor Unique

What sets Fellow Advisor apart is its distinctive approach of offering guidance and advice from a peer partner who not only intimately understands the challenges faced by immigrants but has also successfully navigated these hurdles themselves. This partner has not only secured a full scholarship for Master’s studies in Germany from DAAD but has also been honored with two prestigious awards recognizing their academic excellence and social commitment during their Master’s and Ph.D. studies.
