Simultaneously, I gained hands-on experience in various laboratories, delving into Spectroscopy and Modern Physics, Analog Electronics, Digital Electronics, Experimental Physics, Multiferroics Testing Lab, Thin Film Technology Lab, Chemical Lab, and Nano-Technology Lab. These experiences equipped me with a diverse set of skills and techniques, including Sol-gel, Hydrothermal, Solid-state, Modified Hummers method, and Co-precipitation techniques.

Contributions and Research Focus:

In pursuit of academic excellence, I pursued a Master of Philosophy in Solid-State Physics at The University of the Punjab Lahore, Pakistan, from 2020 to 2022. My research culminated in a thesis titled "Utilization of Sr2Ni2O5/rGO composites as electrode material in supercapacitor," earning me a commendable grade of 3.6/4.00.

Furthermore, I've actively contributed to the scientific community through publications in reputable journals, exploring topics such as supercapacitors, graphene-based electrode materials, electromagnetic interference shielding, and advancements in supercapacitor electrodes through MOF.

Notable publication:

1. Advances in graphene-based electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors: a review

2. Performance optimization of Nd-doped LaNiO3 as an electrode material in supercapacitors

3. Exploring new frontiers in supercapacitor electrodes through MOF advancements

4. Synthesis of M-type hexaferrite reinforced graphene oxide composites for electromagnetic interference shielding

Accolades and Recognition:

My dedication to academic excellence and research has been recognized through various honors and awards, including the PM Laptop Scheme, College Scholarship, and CM Solar Panel Scheme. These acknowledgments reflect my commitment to maintaining high academic standards.

I've also had the privilege of participating in conferences, workshops, and seminars, such as the 5th National Symposium on Laser Matter Interaction, International Conference on Applied Physics & Engineering, and International Workshop on Nanomaterials for Energy Conversion, among others.

Impact and Influence:

My research interests encompass a wide array of topics, including Composites Materials, Graphene Oxide Composite, Nanomaterials, Transition Metal Oxide, Li-ion batteries, and Electrode materials. These areas showcase my commitment to pushing the boundaries of knowledge and contributing to advancements in the field.

Legacy and Future Contributions:

My journey so far has been marked by continuous learning, hands-on experience, and a passion for research. As I move forward, I am eager to leverage my skills and expertise in XRD, SEM, Electrochemical workstation, TGA/DSC, and EDX to make meaningful contributions to the world of physics. I am open to collaborations and opportunities that align with my research interests, seeking to leave a lasting impact on the scientific community.
