I have taught a variety of undergraduate/post-graduate courses in Computer Science and Engineering Departments at NUTECH and IIUI (Environmental Science Deptt). Below are the courses I have been involved in teaching:

• Applied Chemistry: An introductory course that focus on understanding the basics of Chemistry and its applications to industries with special emphasis on contemporary issues related to climate change.
• Functional English: The course focuses on developing spoken as well as written English skills so that students are well equipped to pursue their career as successful professionals in any competitive working environment.
• Environmental Chemistry (BS): Focuses on understanding chemical processes that govern environmental systems which prepares students for careers in environmental monitoring, management, and sustainable development.
• Contemporary Issues in Environment (MS): The course focused on analysis of current environmental challenges such a climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental pollution that helped to equip students with knowledge to provide sustainable solutions to issues at hand.
• Cleaner Production Technology (MS): The course supports the shift toward eco-friendly industrial practices to reduce environmental impact and promotes sustainability by teaching efficient resource use and waste minimization techniques.
• Research Methodology (MS): The course focused on fundamentals for conducting scientific and evidence-based studies that helps to develop critical thinking, ethics and best research practices.
• Atmospheric Chemistry (PhD): The course was central to addressing global issues like air quality, climate change, and ozone layer depletion.

My research focuses on the electrochemistry of interfaces, sensor development for environmental toxins, and pathogens. I have been working on Li and Na ion Batteries in collaboration with NUST suggesting sustainable solutions and have written projects and successfully published my work.
