Profile Summary

I am an Environmental Science researcher and PhD scholar with expertise in environmental pollution assessment, risk analysis, and emerging toxicological research. During my undergraduate studies, I completed a thesis on sustainable waste management by producing vermicompost utilizing Eisenia fetida, vegetable peels, black tea, and crop residue. This work focused on transforming organic waste into nutrient-rich compost, promoting soil health, and supporting eco-friendly agricultural practices. I completed my MS in Environmental Science with a research focus on heavy metal contamination in aquatic ecosystems. I published a peer-reviewed research paper titled Occurrence, Source Identification and Ecological Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Water and Sediments of Uchalli Lake – Ramsar Site, Pakistan, in Environmental Pollution Journal. The study involved systematic field sampling, laboratory analysis, statistical interpretation to determine contamination levels, identify pollution sources, and assess ecological risk. The research contributes to improved understanding of wetland pollution dynamics and supports sustainable environmental management. My core expertise includes ecological risk assessment and human health risk assessment, particularly related to heavy metals and environmental contaminants. I have practical experience in evaluating contamination indices, exposure pathways, and risk characterization for both ecosystems and surrounding human populations. I am skilled in translating complex datasets into clear, scientific conclusions that support informed environmental decision-making and policy development. I am highly proficient in SPSS and R, using these tools for advanced statistical analysis, multivariate modelling, trend evaluation, and professional data visualization. I am committed to advancing research in environmental science and toxicology through evidence-based methodologies, innovative analytical techniques, and continuous academic development. With a strong foundation in environmental risk assessment, a published research record, and expanding expertise in in vivo, in vitro, and in silico methodologies, I aim to contribute meaningful scientific insight to projects focused on risk assessment, pollutant assessment, and sustainable ecosystem protection.
