About Me


I was born and raised in a small village of District Bahawalpur, Tehsil Hasilpur,and got a school education from a village and a sophomore at Govt. SadiqEgerton College Bahawalpur. I got a bachelor’s degree from IUB, Bahawalpur,MSc from Bahauddin Zakariya University (BZU) Multan, an MPhil from Centre ofExcellence in Solid State Physics, The University of Punjab Lahore, and a Doctorof Philosophy (Ph.D.) from the Institute of Physics, The Islamia UniversityBahawalpur (IUB). Currently, I am also working as a postdoctoral researcher at the VBS-Technical University of Ostrava (Czechia).I recently completed my Post-Doctoral Fellowship at the School of Chemical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia (QS World Ranking 134). I was nominated among the world’s top 2% scientists in the 2024-2025 list issued by Stanford University. I have eight years of experience as a researcher in materialsscience and engineering, electrochemistry, photochemistry, biocompatiblematerials, and advanced energy storage/conversion materials, at the Institute ofPhysics,TheIslamiaUniversityBahawalpur(IUB),Pakistan.Iauthored64articles with an impact factor of 350 as well as > 05 articles under review havingtotalcitations> 3400 anH-index of 38and an i10-index of 62.Moreover,Ialsohave?ve-year of experience operating material characterization tools and currentlyoperatingXRD,FTIR,RAMAN,PL,UV-Vis,IV,SEM/TEM,XPS,EDX,ElectrochemicalworkstationsattheSemiconductorsandNanotechnology Lab at TheInstituteofPhysicsIUB.Ialsohavehands-onexperiencein nanomaterial/semiconductor synthesis techniques, including sol-gel, co-precipitation,hydrothermal,micro-emulsion,wet-chemical,auto-combustion,thermalevaporation,andsolid-statemethods.Ialsocantrainresearchstudentsas I already guide four PhD and ~35 MPhil research students who havecompleted theirwork. Currently, I am supervising two PhD and six MPhil research students. I would liketo workin awell-reputed organizationamong the best professionals and in a challenging atmosphere that offers an enormouschanceofgrowthandfurtherfacilitatesmyabilitiestohelptheorganizationreachitsstrategicgoals.
