JOB
EXPERIENCE
PRESENTLY SUPERVISING /
  • Worked as lecturer in Government College (B) Taunsa from 12/3/96 to 2/4/98. During the above mentioned period, my main assignment was to teach B.Sc classes.
  • Worked as Lecturer in Government Post Graduate (B) College, D.G Khan from 3/4/1998 to 30/4/2008. During the said period, my main assignment was to teach M.Sc(Physics) classes and taught the M. Sc courses.
  • Worked as Lecturer in GovernmentGordonCollege, Rawalpindi, from 1/5/2008 to 05/10/2009. During the said period, my main assignment was to teach B.Scclasses.
  • Worked as Visiting Assistant Professor in Federal Urdu University of Arts Science & Technology, Islamabad, for spring semester 2009 and taught Statistical mechanics & thermodynamics course to MSc class.
  • Completed PhD thesis entitled “Investigation of plasma parameters in Ne – N2 mixture discharge with 13.56 MHz RF generator” in the field of Experimental plasma Physics from Quaid-i-AzamUniversity, Islamabad. I had taken the following Ph.D courses.
  1. Electrodynamics
  2. Mathematical Methods of Physics
  3. Plasma I
  4. Methods and Experimental Techniques I
  5. Plasma II
  6. Experimental plasma Physics
  7. Methods and Experimental Techniques I
  8. Material Physics I
During the whole research work, I used the following techniques to characterise the plasma. Now I am fully familiarised with them.
  1. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES)
  2. Langmuir probe
  3. Raman spectroscopy
  4. Hardness tester
  5. Furnace
  6. Polishing machine
  7. Cutting machine
In optical emission spectroscopy, I used,McPherson–2061 monochromator, having grating with 1200 grooves/mm and spectral resolution of 0.01 nm coupled with a side window photo-multiplier tube (PMT-R928) and auto ranging Pico-ammeter (Keithley-485), as well as Ocean Optics HR 4000 CG-NIR-UV ,of resolution 0.1 nm, to record the emission spectrum of generated plasma. By using this spectrum we can analyse different plasma species. Now we can calculate the plasma electron temperature and plasma densityby using the laws of Quantum mechanics and Statistical mechanics.
Langmuir probe due to its localized measurements have its own important. That’s why Langmuir probe is used to compare its results with optical emission spectroscopy results.
Raman spectroscopy is used to identify Raman shift in the plasma treated sample due to formation of new phase.
Hardness tester is used to measure the changes in wear and tear of the plasma treated sample.
Furnace is used annealing the sample.
Whereas, polishing and cutting machine is used to mange the sample size and quality.
  • Presently, working as Assistant Professor atDepartment of Physics, COMSATS Institute of Information Technology Park Road, Islamabad.
