Hi, I'm Dr. Waqar Azeem. I'm an assistant professor and materials physics researcher based in Abu Dhabi, with a PhD from The University of Hong Kong and over a decade across teaching, research, and academic publishing.

My work sits at the intersection of education and AI productivity. I teach, I publish in peer reviewed journals, I review manuscripts, and I run a YouTube channel called AIMadeUseful where I share practical AI workflows for educators, researchers, students, and working professionals.

After a full year of testing NotebookLM across lectures, research papers, lab reports, business documents, and personal planning, I realized most people use less than 20% of what this free Google tool can do. So I distilled the workflows that genuinely save hours into one practical course.

Whether you're writing a thesis, reviewing literature, prepping a team presentation, or just trying to make sense of a 200 page report, this course gives you tools you can apply today.
