About
I am currently working as a Postdoc Fellow in the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG), of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), China. My research mainly focuses on Pollution ecology, Plant Ecophysiology, Phytoremediation, Indicator Plants and Plant Physiological response in terms of environmental factors. I received various awards during my academic career, including the Best Research Paper Award under 7th Higher Education Commission of Pakistan Outstanding Research Award 2017 and Professor Habib Award for the Best PhD Scholar, 2021. I am also serving as a Guest Editor for PlosOne, Frontiers in Conservation Science and reviewer of more than 20 peer reviewed journals. I have published one book on the Vegetation pattern of Weed species in Maize Crop and 12 different book chapters in various Springer, Elsevier and Taylor and Francis books. I published more than 50 research articles in Impact Factor Journals. I am also a member of the Slow Food Association of Pakistan and the British Ecological Society, United Kingdom.
