Profile Summary

Currently working as an Assistant Professor (Botany) at The Islamia University of Bhawalpur, Rahim Yar Khan Campus. Have research interests in Botany, Environmental science, Remediation, Biochar and Ecology. My expertise in the field of Environmental Sciences encouraged me to do something for heavy metal remediation from soils of Pakistan. As, my homeland soils get contaminated with these pollutants at alarming rate. Likewise, the accumulations of these metals not only affect the ecological parameters but also affect life of living organisms directly and indirectly. So, my PhD work is related to heavy metal remediation by using organic and low cost amendments i.e. biochar from the natural and artificial contaminated soil. Biochar not only reduced the metal mobilization and accumulation in leafy vegetables (Spinach & fenugreek) but in the same way increase the fertility status of soil which cause positive impact on plants growth. Therefore, we are the best constituents for making our Pakistan Prosperous by helping the farmer with low cost amendments with more productivity.
