I am a Ph.D. student in Environmental Engineering at University of Massachusetts Lowell. My dissertation research focuses on exploring adsorption and desorption hysteresis of organic contaminants onto carbon-based nanoparticles. I received my BS degree from NED University of Engineering & Technology, Pakistan in Polymer and Petrochemical Engineering and completed my MS degree from King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals, Saudi Arabia in Chemical Engineering. My MS thesis title was “Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of Polysulfone Nanocomposite Membranes for Water Purification”. During my leisure time, I enjoy playing indoor and outdoor sports, exercising, and meeting new people.
