• Advancing electrodes design to Improve Electrochemical CO2 Capture and Storage using sea water Electrolysis, focusing on developing high surface area, low overpotential, stable cathodes for seawater splitting, hydrogen production, and CO2 capture.• Scaling Membrane Electrodyalasis for Li Extraction.• Collaborating with a great team.

United States

Developed high-performance supercapacitors for energy storage and CO2 capture using biomass, coke, coal, and carbide derived activated carbons, Achieved 10x improved CO2 capture performance by optimizing Supercapacitive Swing Adsorption through electrodes design, charging protocols, and stability studies. Developed and characterized fuel cell electrocatalysts for anodic oxidation and cathodic reduction reactions.Worked as a Teaching Assistant in four undergraduate laboratory courses, "Introduction to chemical principles", "Chemical equilibria in aqueous systems", "Physical chemistry", and "Organic chemistry".

Japan

Worked on high-throughput electrochemical fabrication of localized surface patterns using 3D printed solution flow type microdroplet cell as a part of my Masters thesis. Performed anodizing, electropolishing, electrodeposition, 3D printing using various metal and plastic substrates. Characterized the samples using an optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, confocal scanning laser microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan

Applied Polymer/Process Engineering knowledge to analyze the processing and post processing-related issues faced by customers during Injection molding, blow molding, roto molding, and extrusion of their plastic products. Conducted around 100 on-site trails in the above-mentioned industries.Analyzed the masterbatch market potential of the company in different application areas, held telephonic and in-person meetings on daily basis with new and existing customers, Market analysis and making new connections eventually led to about 10 % increase in the company's annual masterbatch sales.

Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan

Worked as an internee for three months in production and quality control. Performed different tasks and assignments to optimize the sprue, runners, and gate locations. Made a report on how to minimize material wastage, optimize the temperatures of compression and metering zone and perform testing techniques for evaluation of pipes and fittings.
