In 2001, the University of Peshawar (UOP), in Peshawar, Pakistan, awarded me a Master of Science in Physics. In that merit list, I received second place. I taught at the Army Public School and College (APS system) for Girls in Peshawar Cantt for over a year. After a year of teaching in APS, I was selected as a lecturer (contract) in the Department of Physics UOP on May 11, 2002. After almost two years, I was selected as a regular BPS lecturer at the physics department (UOP) on April 4, 2005. I received a Ph.D. fellowship in 2011, and in January 2012, I enrolled as a Ph.D. candidate at the Physics of Interfaces and Nanomaterials (PIN) group at the University of Twente (UT), Netherlands. On October 28, 2015, after four years of free research and teaching at Nanolab UT under the direction of MESA+, I received my Ph.D. in the field of nanotechnology. The following day, October 29, 2015, I organized my travel to go back there. To make a long tale short, I went back to join UOP in October 2015. Since then, I've been performing my duties here.
