I completed my Master in Botany (MPhil) from Kohat University of Science and Technology (KUST) Kohat, Pakistan in 2012. I received a KNU Honour Scholarship for Ph.D. studies in South Korea and completed my Ph.D. (2017) from laboratory of Crop Physiology at Kyungpook National University, South Korea. My Ph.D. research work was based on plant physiology and genomics, where I extensively worked on sequencing and analysis of plant’s organelle, whole genomes and mitochondrial genomes and their comparative assessment with related species. In addition, since microbial symbionts are key to crop plant survival and development during harsh climatic conditions, I also worked on microbial genomics. I sequenced and analyzed various endophytic bacteria and fungi genomes and detected potentially important biosynthetic pathways. This has helped me to publish a good number of peer reviewed articles in well reputed journals such as Frontiers in plant Sciences, Plosone, and Scientific Reports etc. Currently, I am working as research assistant Professor at Natural and Medical Sciences Research Center, University of Nizwa, Oman . Over the last five years or so, I have extensively worked on both experimental plant biology (plant growth in abiotic stress conditions, endogenous phytohormonal signaling, and gene expression analysis) and bioinformatics (genome sequencing, assembly, annotation, transcriptomics and data analysis) to understand the underlaying mechanisms and evolution using diverse array of advance instrumentation and data obtains through that. Furthermore, I am using various bioinformatic tools for data analysis and NGS data processing.
