Material Scientist and Physicist

Profile Summary

I am working as an assistant professor at the Department of Physics, University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, Pakistan. My expertise includes green and chemical synthesis of nanomaterials for SOFC, Photocatalysts, antimicrobial, and supercapacitor applications. My fabrication skills include tape casting and screen printing. I am currently supervising Ph.D. and MS students within the above-mentioned projects, and their findings have been published in impact-factored journals. I will be available for evaluation of the project, thesis, and manuscript. During my MS I worked on projects like laser-matter interaction and laser-generated plasma depositions. Also I can tutor the subject of Physics
