Biography

He was born on 16th October 1978 in tehsil Liaquatpur, district Rahim Yar Khan. He passed his matriculation from a native school-GHSS Shadani Sharif in 1994. He accomplished his studies of F.Sc and B.Sc at Govt. Sadiq Egerton College Bahawalpur in 1996 and 1998, respectively. He completed his studies of M.Sc (Physics) at the Islamia University Bahawalpur in 2000 and afterwards, he started teaching in private sector schools/colleges. In 2006, he won the HEC indigenous scholarship under 5000 M.Phil leading to Ph.D fellowship scheme. In 2007, he got enrolled in Physics department, Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan and undertook his research work on the title ‘’Preparation of MnxNi1-xFe2O4 Ferrites by Sol-Gel Method and Study of Enhancement of Physical Properties” for the partial fulfillment of M.Phil thesis which was submitted in 2009. Later on, he pursued his research work on the title ‘’Preparation of Rare Earth Cobalt Permanent Magnets and Study of Enhancement of their Magnetic Properties” for the partial fulfillment of Ph.D thesis which was submitted in 2015. Before joining KFUEIT, he had experience of working as faculty member in some renowned degree awarding institutes like: Institute of Southern Punjab Multan and Government College University Faisalabad-Sahiwal Campus. On 7th December, 2018, he joined the department of Physics, Khwaja Fareed University of Engineering and Information Technology, Rahim Yar Khan as Assistant Professor. On joining the department, he assumed the charge of lab coordinator and thus far, he has taught several courses at undergraduate and graduate levels besides demonstrating the undergraduate labs. Currently, his research interests include the synthesis and characterization of virtuously application driven nanostructured composites encompassing metal oxides and intermetallic systems. His hobbies comprise watching current affairs’ broadcasts and reading books.
