Being a professionally qualified Soil Scientist, I am working on plant nutrition and abiotic stresses, particularly salinity, drought and heavy metal toxicity. I did B.Sc. (Hons) Agriculture in 1994, M.Sc. (Hons) Soil Science in 1996, and Ph.D. Soil Science in 2008 from University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. In 2014, I have been awarded Endeavour Fellowship, and completed Post-doctorate from School of Biological Sciences, University of Western Australia, Australia. I possess strong analytical and problem solving skills with the ability to make well thought-out decisions. I am quite adept at reviewing literature for distilling relevant key concepts from complex information, integrating literature, documenting research and delivering projects outcomes under time pressure. I have excellent analytical skills in soil, plant and water analysis, experimentation on plant nutrition and stress physiology, and statistical analysis, and always try to make evidence-based judgments. I have expertise in atomic absorption spectroscopy, flame photometry, spectrophotometry and ion chromatography. I have strong ability to work independently and in collaborative format for achieving projects outcomes under competing timeframes. I use effective liaison and negotiation abilities to communicate with students, colleagues, collaborators and stakeholders. Having excellent verbal and written communication skills, I can explain complex ideas in a clear, concise and articulate manner. I have around 26 year research, teaching and administrative experience in different research and teaching organizations. I am also involve in editorial activities of national and international research journals. In the recognition of significant contribution to the field of research, I have been awarded Research Productivity Award for two times by Ministry of Science and Technology, Pakistan.
