Personal Profile (Academic)
I have obtained PhD degree from Coventry University, UK, in the field of Plant (Seed & Pollen)
Physiology adding later expertise in the field of molecular biology. I had opportunity to work for
nearly 20 years in world‟s some of the best universities/labs as a professor, visiting
scientist/postdoctoral research fellow in Pakistan, United Kingdom, South Africa and Republic
of South Korea with the administrative responsibilities as well teaching, supervision, research,
training (technical/non-technical staff) and establishment of new research facilities. Working in
3 continents with diverse background in teaching and research has equipped me with up to date
knowledge and research skills.
During this time I got a valuable experience in teaching various modules namely Cell
Biology, Crop Production, Agro-ecology and Sustainable Agriculture, Plant Physiology, Seed
Science and Technology, Recombinant DNA Technology, Perspectives and Techniques in
Biology, and Computing and Data Analysis along with the supervision of graduate and
postgraduate students. Furthermore, I have successfully planned and executed numerous
research projects either independently or working in a team, while working in Pakistan, UK, S.
Africa and S. Korea. I have also worked in collaboration with other institutes in or out of the
country of my residence. I have presented my work in some of the most prestigious conferences
held in USA, UK, Spain, Turkey, South Africa, South Korea, Poland, Hungary, China,
Malaysia, Oman, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. I have published nearly 100 articles in
2
internationally well-reputed peer review journals and supervised more than 50 graduate and
undergraduate students.
Although, in general I am interested broadly in Seed Science & Technology (seed
enhancement technology), Pollen Biology (pollination, physiology and pollen bank) and Plant
Stress Physiology (abiotic stress) but currently, I am working on (1) growth promoting effects of
plant derived smoke on plant (seed/pollen) performance under normal and stressed conditions
(2) identification and isolation of growth promoting compounds as well gene/protein responding
to plant derived smoke (3) propagation and conservation (seed/pollen/DNA bank) of medicinal
plants (4) role of K in pollination and fertilization and the K transporter genes involved in
translocation of K in reproductive organs of plant (5) mechanisms underlying seed dormancy in
Rubus (6) the role of Na and K channel (blockers) in plants growing in saline conditions (7)
proteomics i.e. proteins responding to various abiotic stresses and (8) molecular marker assisted
identification of plant varieties (9) Plant proteomics.
Personal Profile (Administrative)
Not only working for more than a decade in 3 continents with diverse background in teaching
and research has equipped me with up to date knowledge and research skills but also has
provided an opportunity to excel my leadership qualities. Additionally, my managerial skills got
more polished and tuned to home ground by working in KUST, Pakistan. I have been chairing
various statutory bodies/committees for last ten years in KUST. The years of work in Pakistan
and overseas, an excellent blend of various cultures and systems had equipped me with unique
leadership qualities.
Moreover, I have served/am serving as a Vice Chancellor, Pro-Vice Chancellor,
KUST, Dean, Faculty of Biological Science, Dean, Faculty of Social Science, Director Quality
Enhancement Cell (QEC), Director ORIC, Chairman Department of Botany, Member of
Senate, Syndicate, Finance & Planning Committee, Academic Council, Advance Studies &
Research Board (ASRB), I am also convener and member of several other Standing and
Ad‟hoc committees.
Keeping in view all that valuable experience accumulated during twenty years, I can
shoulder the responsibilities in best possible manner at any kind of academic/administrator
position.
