I am pursuing a Ph.D. in "Materials for Sustainable Development" focusing on solid oxide cells, specifically electrolyzers and fuel cells, at the University of Rome, Tor Vergata. Before my doctoral studies, I gained valuable research experience through a one-year internship as a research assistant at COMSATS University Lahore. In 2019, I completed my Master's (MS) in Physics from COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore, where I was introduced to the field of Clean Energy Technologies. Given my country's energy shortage and environmental problems, I recognized the potential benefits of pursuing research in this area. Therefore, I decided to join the Clean Energy Research Lab (CERL).In my previous research experience, I worked on doped ZnO nanoparticles for my Bachelor's thesis at Quantum, Optics, and Photonics Devices Lab. During this project, I prepared transition metal-doped ZnO nanoparticles and proposed their application in various fields, such as LED, sunblocks, and sensors. Building on this experience, I expanded my research scope during my Master's program and focused on Clean Energy Technologies. In the Clean Energy Research Lab (CERL), I studied the charge transport phenomena at the micro-level in fuel cells. My research project, which I presented as my thesis, was entitled "Study of Charge Transport Phenomena at Micro Level in Fuel Cell."I am passionate about advancing sustainable technologies and contributing to the global shift towards cleaner energy sources. With my academic expertise and hands-on research experience, I am committed to making a positive impact in the field of renewable energy.
