Biography
I am currently an Assistant Professor (Physical Chemistry) in Pakistan’s top ranked Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. I have a PhD in Chemistry from Johannes Gutenberg Universitat-Mainz, German on a Max Planck international award and was later awarded the prestigious IRTG fellowship, which allowed me to obtain a dual PhD degree in Chemistry from Seoul National University, South Korea. I did my Postdoc research in the University of Glasgow and am an alumnus of the 2009 Lindau Nobel Laureates Meeting in Chemistry. I am a recipient of two Gold Chancellor medals from QAU Pakistan and in 2009, worked in an Nature/iTv collaborative documentary on climate change, titled "The two degree target".
