Brief Statement of research work

I work as Professor of Environmental Science at Government College University Faisalabad, Pakistan. I earned PhD in Environmental Science from University of York, UK in 2011, and, have received postdoctoral trainings at University of Adelaide Australia, WSL/ETH/UZH Switzerland and Radboud University Nijmegen Netherlands. My research interests broadly include soil biogeochemistry, CNP cycling in natural, semi-natural and managed ecosystems, biochar for soil quality and C sequestration in agroecosystems, soil organic matter dynamics in arid and semiarid agriculture, soil quality and health indicators, organic waste cycling and recycling, and nutrient and water use efficiencies in agriculture. Through these areas of research, I explore sustainable crop production that ensures food security while maintaining soil quality and health. I am partner of European Commission Horizon Europe ???LEGUMINOSE??? Project that explores and promotes cereal-legume intercropping for sustainable crop production and soil quality management.
