Biography

I am a dedicated physicist and educator with over a decade of experience in teaching, research, and mentoring in the field of plasma physics. Currently serving as an Assistant Professor at Government College University Lahore, I am specialized in theoretical and computational modelling of space plasmas, with a focus on solitary structures, Alfven waves, and non-Maxwellian distribution functions.
My research bridges theory with satellite-based observational data, contributing to a deeper understanding of nonlinear processes in space plasma environments. I’ve authored multiple peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals and presented my work at many prestigious international and national conferences.
Beyond research, I actively contribute to academic development through workshops, faculty training, and curriculum innovation.
