Biography

I am a passionate teacher who joined teaching profession by choice. I completed my B.Sc Hons in Physics from Kinnaird College for Women, Lahore. I was awarded Academic Roll of Honour and "Anwar ul Haq Gold Medal" for securing first position in my class of BSc Hons. I joined the Department of Physics, GC University in the MPhil in Physics Program. I continued to study and research during my PhD in Physics from Department of Physics, GC university Lahore. I started my teaching career from Kinnaird College for Women right after completing my undergraduate degree. Later I joined as faculty member at Department of Physics, GC University where I am serving to date.
