  • My PhD journey with IUKL was wonderful. Yes, a lot of things happened along the way but the sweetest memories remain with me forever. I worked as a Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) when I was studying. Being a research assistant helped me a lot with my PhD. I won a few awards when I was a student, and one such award is the Keynote Speaker Award. I have published 10 research paper as an IUKL scholar. I was the President of the Postgraduate Students Society and the President of the Pakistan Students Association. I am now working as a lecturer at the National University of Science and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, Pakistan.
