Tel # (Off): 111-001-007  
Served Previously

Dr Nawshad Muhammad obtained his Postdoctoral certificate from China Ionic liquid laboratory, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences China in the field of green processing of bioactive materials. He obtained his PhD degree from PETRONAS Ionic liquid center, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS Malaysia in the domain of green chemistry and sustainable biotechnology. During PhD studies, ionic liquids; green solvents were synthesized from bio-sources like amino acids and choline for deconstruction of lignocellulosic to various chemicals. He obtained his MPhil from University of Peshawar in the field of Dental polymeric materials and biochemistry respectively. Currently his interest in synthesis of ionic liquids for extraction and processing of biopolymers i.e. cellulose, collagen and keratin etc. In addition, working on composite materials especially dental materials. He published more than 100 research articles in international journals with collective impact factor of 250 with h index of 16. He has granted for 1 US patent also. He has been reviewer for many reputed journals.
