Ms. Ayesha Tariq

Lab Demonstrator (Physics)

Overview :

Introduction:

  • I have been very passionate about Physics since my school days. This passion led me to pursue a university degree in Physics. I completed my undergraduate studies (BS Honors) in Physics in December 2014 from International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI), Islamabad, Pakistan. During the BS Honors I did a research project on Plasma Parameter studies of NDYAG Crystal using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy from National Institute of Lasers and Optronics (NILOP) to fulfill the requirements of the degree program. After that, I did my Masters’ in Physics with a specialization in Material Science from National University of Science and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, Pakistan. During the MS I did a Thesis on Enhanced Photocatalytic activity of MXene/Ferrite Hybrid. NUST is one of the leading universities in Pakistan, and it offered me an opportunity to perform research project in a high quality environment. Upon successful completion of the research task, I published my findings in peer reviewed Journals.
