  • Je travaille ici depuis septembre 2019

Research

Assistant Professor - Department of Chemistry à The Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science & Technology Karachi, Pakistan
  • Pakistan - Karachi
  • mars 2017 à septembre 2019

I have taught organic chemistry courses including the spectroscopy, stereochemistry and functional group chemistry.
BS (2 nd Year) Course: Organic Chemistry
BS (3 rd Year) Course: Organic Chemistry

I have also conducted labs including qualitative organic analysis, quantitative analysis of functional group and preparation of organic compounds to BS Students.

I have also taught MS students
MS Course: Environmental Analytical Chemistry

Senior Research Fellow à H. E. J. Research Institute of Chemistry, International Center for Chemical and Biological Sciences,
  • Pakistan - Karachi
  • septembre 2010 à octobre 2015

During these year I completed her Ph. D. coursework
1. Modern NMR Spectroscopy and Solving NMR
Spectroscopic Problems
2. Covalent Modification of DNA as a target for Small
Molecules
3. Biosynthesis of Natural Products
4. Modern Mass Spectrometry,
5. Research Project Writing and presentation by
Scholar (Mandatory)
I did microbial transformation of non-steroidal and steroidal anti-inflammatory compounds on large scale. I purified the compound by using thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).
I have also attended various seminars and international symposia
I was also engaged in training foreign students in the field of biotransformation.

Junior Research Fellow à H. E. J. Research Institute of Chemistry, International Center for Chemical and Biological Sciences,
  • Pakistan - Karachi
  • août 2007 à septembre 2010

During these years I have completed following courses required for M. Phil.

2. Mechanism and Structure Reactivity Relationship
3. Stereochemistry
4. Laboratory Techniques in Chemistry
5. Biosynthesis and Isolation of Natural Products
and Bioassay Screenings
6. Organic Synthesis
7. Advance Synthesis Techniques in Organic
Chemistry
I did microbial transformation of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory compounds. During this research work i got trained in handling microorganism, chromatography (TLC and column chromatography),
autoclave, safety cabinet, Rotory evaporator, distillation. I also used Mass, NMR, UV and IR spectroscopy for thr the interpretation of compounds.
I attended various seminars and international symposia.
I also passed International subjective GRE-examination (Chemistry)
