Interdisciplinary Masters Studentship Program

I am writing to express my strong interest in the Undergraduate Research Support Programme advertised by the Directorate General of Science and Technology, Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. I see this program as an excellent opportunity to enhance my intellectual, academic, and research skills. Participating in this initiative will significantly contribute to achieving my goals. My academic aim is to empower young individuals with cutting-edge knowledge, thereby producing competent and talented graduates who will contribute to societal advancement and ensure the efficient functioning of public and private enterprises, organizations, and institutions. The aim of my research is to promote a clean and green environment, maintain a healthy society, and contribute to the economic development of my beloved country, Pakistan. To achieve my academic goals, I am continuously improving my academic knowledge which is why I did not stop my education at the BS level but rather got admission in MPhil program soon after completion of my BS degree. To meet my research objectives, I have concentrated on two critical areas: (i) water purification and (ii) green energy production. Water pollution, exacerbated by emerging environmental contaminants, has recently garnered significant attention from researchers. This concern arises because various classes of these contaminants are continuously entering water bodies, thereby degrading water quality. These contaminants adversely affect human health and other living organisms. The situation is particularly alarming in developing countries like Pakistan, where the over-prescription of drugs such as antibiotics exacerbates the problem. Over 80% of our hospitalized patients suffer from illnesses linked to polluted water. Consequently, water pollution not only diminishes the productivity of our industries due to worker illnesses but also incurs substantial healthcare costs for treating these diseases. Additionally, thousands of children die each year in Pakistan from cholera, a waterborne disease. These repercussions of contaminated water have a detrimental impact on Pakistan's economy. Therefore, proper removal of water pollutants will not only maintain a healthy society but will also boost the economy of our country. In addition, to solve the power shortage problems and boom the industrialization of our country, there is a great need of producing renewable energy such as hydrogen via solar light mediated photocatalytic water splitting. To successfully achieve the aforementioned of my academics and research, I am continuously strengthening my theoretical and experimental knowledge in my MPhil program.  My research focuses on developing graphene oxide and nitrogen-doped graphene oxide-based photocatalysts, which hold potential for degrading water contaminants and facilitating water splitting under natural solar light irradiation. I am optimistic that I will successfully develop stable, active, and economically viable photocatalysts capable of water decontamination and solar hydrogen production via water splitting. This will contribute to environmental sustainability, the maintenance of a healthy society, and the resolution of energy challenges.
