About

After MSc and M.Phil  with thesis on organic synthesis and  UNIDO Zero waste technologies respectively . During my tenure as technical expert to Govt of Pakistan, UNEP gave us a certificate for excellence of performance. Subsequently, I completed Doctorate in Université de Paris Scaly, France (2009-10), at LCP under the direction of Professor Dr. Mehran mostafavi as director /mentor and Professor Dr. Laurent Ruhlmannas supervisor to work on “ Synthesis and application of organic -Inorganic Nanohybrids for photocatalytic water remediation and solar energy production”.  Research profile. 29 publications with accumulative impact factor 105 and 2200 + citations.         I have Diverse experience in a various industrial /industrial technology management formats such as UNIDO for petroleum refinery zero waste and energy conservation , Mubadala group UAE at Masdar institute of technology 2014-16 for solar electrochemical water desalination technologies , Solar assisted EMBR processes , Chemistry of water and sludge  at Khalifa University , Masdar City campus , in UAE. Alocn group UK , Achievements:  

  1. Solar Electrochemical wastewater into pure water and fertilizer recovery.
  2. SWRO , SWFO , DCMD , Electrokinetic treatment for water recovery 
  3. Biodegradable electronic switching smart nano-bio-devices.
  4. Direct Solar water desalination systems.
  5. Water reuse by ElectroMBR ( Maria Elektorowicz  Montreal group ) solar Electrocoagulation assisted MBR
  6. Electrostimulation of Microbes for Bio-methane Gas 
  7. Technology optimization  - Graphene desalination USA – F.O. membrane R &D for Trevi systems California .  Pretreatment of R.O.  –Electromagnetic greener  Desalination.
  8. electro-stimulation microbes  for Biomethanogensis .
  9. solar electrical technology for wastewater   treatment  as  Biorefinery concept from Biosolid waste.
  10. F.O. membrane synthesis , solar Electro coagulation technology.
  11.  Solar electrocoagulation mechanism and pretreatment of RO , FO , DCMD , Electro-kinetic treatment for water recovery.
  12. It covers Photocatalytic nanomaterials in aqueous phase /polymers synthesis for dual applications Organic solar cells and photocatalytic water remediation’s.
  13. Bioremmediation of petroleum refinery sludge by bacteria during M. Phil Environmental Chemistry program .The work was done to establish national cleaner production centre at ATTOCK petroleum refinery .
  14. From Electro-MBR wastewater to bio-electro-stimulation of methane formation during biogas technology in Biorefinery. Industrially tested technology www.revgreenpk.com/project/ . 
  15. Scale up synthesis of Graphene from coal , petroleum waste to Graphene desalination, forward osmosis, R.O. desalination by electrochemical techniques.
  16. Green synthesis of biomaterials for electrical devices from citrus peel.
  17. Development of health/environment friendly anti-microbial chemical disinfectants for life /industry.       

Keeping in view of experience of industrial trainerresearch and institutional development in areas of energy , water and environment at national and international levels . I can infer that i can design and deliver simple core and creative lecture plans for alternative energy and Environmental Chemistry with industrial trainer and research practice of environmental nanotechnologies across the globe from south Asia (Pakistan, UAE ) to   Europe (France) USA Caltech , MIT postdoc stay , Therefore, I can infer that this is best time that a  position at your institute will help me establish a research group based on my research experience and  skills in coordination with other international collaborations.I can ensure that with hands on skills, I can prove my selection with Innovative and deliverable project management. Because as solution designer to solve problems, I believe in it that, if you are not a part of solution your are a part of problem . “Give me a lever long enough and a prop strong enough, I can single-handedly move the world.”-(Archimedes)-
