Summary

I am a civil engineer and PhD scholar with over a decade of combined academic and professional experience, specializing in structural engineering, seismic design, and sustainable construction. I hold an MS in Structural Engineering and am currently in the final stage of my PhD at the Università degli Studi dell'Aquila, Italy, with thesis submission expected imminently — a process I will complete remotely alongside my professional responsibilities. I have served as a Senior Lecturer at Nanchang Institute of Technology in China for nearly seven years, where I delivered undergraduate and postgraduate courses including Concrete Structure Design, Anti-seismic Design, Building Information Modeling, and Engineering Mechanics. My teaching approach blends theoretical rigor with practical industry insight, drawn from my professional background in structural inspections, load assessments, and design projects in Pakistan. I am proficient in industry-standard software including SAP2000, ETABS, SAFE, AutoCAD, Rhino 8, and Revit, and I have a strong record of research publications in internationally recognized conferences. Registered with the Pakistan Engineering Council and with extensive experience working and teaching in China, I bring cross-cultural adaptability, academic professionalism, and a genuine passion for developing the next generation of civil engineers. I am eager to contribute to your institution's academic excellence and research mission.
