Dr. Muhammad Waris

Lecturer – Faculty of Architecture, Sciences, Engineering and Town Planning

Biography

I graduated from the University of Sindh Jamshoro Pakistan with a 4 years degree in Chemistry (2009-2012). Through my years of studying, I became fascinated by the research field in Analytical Chemistry and by the way how these techniques are applied to the analysis. I have done my M. Phil (2013-2015) from National Centre of Excellence in Analytical Chemistry, University of Sindh Jamshoro, Pakistan. My M. Phil thesis title was EVALUATION OF ROXARSONE IN POULTRY FEED AND LITTER”. I have demonstrated a consistent commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my strong academic performance and active involvement in this research project. I developed an electrochemical method for the determination of Roxarsone. So, I have expertise in electrochemistry, the speciation of arsenic in poultry feed and litter, and the correlation with essential metals through atomic absorption spectroscopy. I completed my PhD at the National Centre of Excellence in Analytical Chemistry, University of Sindh, Jamshoro, Pakistan. The thesis title of my PhD was “ANALYTICAL PROFILING OF AQUATIC AND TERRESTRIAL PLANTS AND ESTIMATION OF THEIR PHYTOREMEDIATION CAPACITY FOR TRACE AND TOXIC ELEMENTS." During my Ph.D., I have selected different aquatic and terrestrial plants (halophytes) to evaluate their phytoremediation capacity to uptake heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn) from saline soil. I have one year of experience as a “Research Fellow” through the “Bursalri Research Scholarship Turkey" in the Faculty of Pharmacy, Department of Analytical Chemistry, Hacettepe University, Sihhiye, Ankara, 06100, Turkey. I have done a project under the title of “TARGETED AND UNTARGETED METABOLOMIC PROFILE OF SELECTED PLANTS AND THEIR EVALUATION FOR PLANT GROWTH AND VEGETATION PERIOD” by using different analytical techniques such as GC-MS and LC-MS.
