BIOGRAPHY
Boasting over 26 years of diverse national and international work experience, my career spans impactful teaching, advanced computational research, and senior higher education leadership. Currently serving as Director of ORIC at The University of Chenab and previously serving as Chairperson of the Department of Physical Sciences until February 2026, I have launched flagship MPhil/PhD programs and implemented sustainable strategic funding models to drive institutional advancement. On the global stage, I hold esteemed professional affiliations, including serving as an Elected Member of CIMPA (Paris), the Ambassador of Pakistan to the Committee for Women in Mathematics (CWM) of the International Mathematical Union (IMU), and a Travel Grant Committee Member for the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) 2026. Additionally, my commitment to empowering regional networks is reflected in my roles as the Country Coordinator for the Asian-Oceanian Women in Mathematics organization. These achievements underscore a lifelong dedication to academic excellence, innovative leadership, and cross-border scientific collaboration.
