RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Research Assistant (Aug 2015 - May 2016), Functional Nanofibers Group, LUMS

Advisers: Salman Noshear Arshad, Muhammad Zaheer

Multifunctional Nitrogen Doped Carbon Nanofibers based Electrodes for LIBs and Catalysts for ORR

  • Synthesized porous polyacrylonitrile based nanofibers as electrode materials for litihium ion batteries

  • Assessed the effectiveness of the electrodes by calculating specific capacity and energy density using CV

Research Intern (Jun 2015 - Aug 2015), LUMS

Adviser: Muhammad Zaheer

Catalytic Properties of Zinc Oxide Nanorods

  • Synthesized various morphologies of ZnO nanorods to study its effect on catalytic activity

  • Rigorously utilized SEM and XRD for morphological and structural characterization respectively

Research Intern (Jun 2014 - Aug 2014), LUMS

Adviser: Rahman Shah Zaib Saleem

Synthesis of an anti-malarial drug

  • Carried out alkylation the 2-thiohydantoin ring using benzyl bromide

  • Purified of the product via column chromatography and characterized using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy and IR for characterization

Research Intern (Jun 2013 - Aug 2013), LUMS

Adviser: Habib-ur-Rehman

Synthesis of Nafion/Graphene oxide-based membranes for fuel cell applications

  • Casted membranes from the blend of Nafion with graphene oxide and polyethylene glycol mixture

  • Nefion/PEG-GO membranes had relatively higher conductivity than the traditionally used Nafion membranes at temperatures above 100°C
