Biography

  • I am an Associate Professor of Mathematics at COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, and hold a PhD in Mathematics with a specialization in Algebraic Topology.

  • My research interests include algebraic topology, graph theory, and combinatorics, with emerging interests in mathematical origami and topological data analysis.

  • I have authored 41 research publications, including 36 impact factor papers, and two books.

  • I have completed three HEC-funded NRPU projects worth approximately PKR 4.8 million, serving as Principal Investigator on one and Co-Principal Investigator on two.

  • I have supervised 05 PhD, 37 MS, and 20 BS students to completion. Currently, I am supervising one PhD, two MS, and three BS students.

  • My teaching and curriculum contributions include designing graduate courses in Advanced Topology and Algebraic Topology, recording the full-length Topology (MTH634) course for the Virtual University of Pakistan, and leading role in CLO/PLO/CDF/6C documentation of BS Mathematics Programs.

  • I served as BS Mathematics Coordinator from 2015 to 2026 and currently serve as In-Charge of the Office of International Activities in Mathematics.

  • I had the honour of serving as Team Leader of Pakistan’s IMO team in 2026 and as Deputy Team Leader in 2016, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025.

  • I have been involved in organizing and delivering IMO training camps since 2015 and have served as Deputy Coordinator of the National Mathematics Talent Contest since 2018.

  • I have served as a local organizer of international mathematics competitions, including the Iranian Geometry Olympiad, Iranian Combinatorics Olympiad, European Mathematical Cup, and Asian Pacific Mathematics Olympiad.

  • I served as Local Coordinator of the CIMPA School 2026 and have contributed to organizing various international conferences, workshops, and schools.
