Materials Chemistry Laboratory

Ijaz-ul-Haq

During his M.Phil. he worked on removal of dyes from aqueous solution by raw and magnetically modified fruit waste of Trapa natans. Now he is the second year PhD scholar working under the supervision of Dr. Sajida Noureen in the Material chemistry laboratory. His work is aimed at biodiesel synthesis from local abundantly available non-edible oils, their characterization and applications.

Faisal Shehzad

He is the second year PhD scholar in the Material chemistry laboratory where he is working on optimization the conditions for biodiesel synthesis, making their blends and characterization. During his M.Phil. he worked on the radioisotopes for cancer treatment.

Sehrish Akram

After doing her MPhil under the supervision of Dr. Maqsood Ahmed, Sehrish Akram is continuing her PhD. She is working crystal engineering and phenomenon of polymorphism in pharmaceutical co-crystals. She explits single crystal X-rays diffraction to explore polymorphism in cocrystals. She is also interested in solid state chemical reactions. Her work has been published in Acta Cryst. C in 2022.

Alia Iqbal

She joined Material Chemistry Laboratory in 2017 to pursue her M.Phil where she has been working on the enhancement of the physicochemical, mechanical properties of pharmaceutical drugs. She uses diffraction and thermal techniques to characterize the materials. She defended her MPhil thesis on 10-12-2019. Currently She is enrolled as a PhD scholar under the supervision of Dr. Maqsood Ahmed. Her work on the charge density analysis of pharmaceutical co-crystals has been published in Acta Cryst B 2021.

Infal Iqbal

Infal successfully defended her MPhil thesis on 09-11-2019 under the supervision of Dr. Maqsood Ahmed and currently she is working as a PhD scholar.

Aqsa Bilal

Aqsa did her MPhil under the supervision of Dr. Maqsood Ahmed and currently she is pursuing her PhD where she is exploring electrostatic properties of new pharmaceutical cocrystals via high resolution X-rays crystallography methods. Currently her work is under revision from CrystEngComm.

Nazra Nawaz

She worked on the crystal structure, disorder modeling and charge density analysis of amino acids. Now she is working as PhD scholar in the material chemistry laboratory. Her research interests are the characterization of kidney stones and to design renal calculi inhibitors.
