About

Qualified and Experienced Medical Physicist with more than 17 years experience at different renowned Radiotherapy and nuclear Medicine Hospitals in Pakistan. Currently working as Principal Medical Physicist after succesful completion of PhD (Dr. rer. nat) from FB Physik. He was affiliated with Prof. Dr. Parak’s AG Biophotonik group in the Faculty of Physics, University of Marburg Germany since October 2014 till Sep 2018. Prof. Parak’s research group, is a renowned research group in the field of Nanobiotechnology. My PhD research mainly focuses on synthesis, development, stabilization, reliability and integrity of different types of nanoparticles; the purposeful functionalization and characterization of the physico-chemical properties of the nanoparticles; and the efficient applications of these nanoparticles in the field of biotechnology and medicince for diagnosis and treatment. Skilled in 3D Radiationtherapy planning, IMRT, VMAT, ICBRT, Brachytherapy, Health Physics/Medical Physics Radiation Safety, IMRT Nanomaterials synthesis (QDs, Magnetic and plasmonic NPs) and their functionalization. very good team player.
