Biography

I have obtained my Ph.D. in Organic (Polymer/Material) Chemistry from Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan (2018). I have completed my Korean research fellowship (KRF fellowship) from Seoul National University, South Korea (2019-2020), Brian Pool Postdoc fellowship (2020-2021) from Seoul National University, South Korea, and JSPS fellowship (2022) from Tohoku University, Japan. I have 10 years’ experience of teaching chemistry up to the MS level.

Research interests

I have performed extensive research work in the field of nanomaterials, Polymers, and organic molecules for their applications in Li-ion Battery, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, water splitting, solar cell, microwave absorber, magnetic/dielectric material for supercapacitor, nanocarrier for cancer cell-targeted drug delivery/bio-imaging, and bio-active glass for bone regeneration/scaffold.
