I did my PhD In Tectonics/Geochronology(Expertise in Fission track and Uranium lead dating) from TU-Bergakadmie Freiberg, Germany, under Faculty development Scholarship from HEC, Pakistan in 2016 under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Lothar Ratschbacher. PhD topic: “Cenozoic exhumation history of Pamir and Tian Shan at the northwestern tip of the India-Asia collision: Timing”.
• I am working as Assistant Professor/HEC recognized PhD supervisor at the Institute of Geology, UAJ&K Muzaffarabad since March 2016. I am teaching and supervising the BS, MS and PhD students. I have published many articles in different impact factor Journals e.g. GSA, Tectonics, Geological Society of America Bulletin, Gondwana Research and Geological Journal. I am working as Associate Editor of Kashmir Journal of Geology, Institute of Geology, UAJ&K, Muzaffarabad. I am acting as reviewer/external evaluator for different recognized journals and Universities.
