Biography
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science and Engineering from the Institute of Space Technology, Pakistan. I am currently serving as a Research Assistant at Bioengineering Research and Development (Private) Limited, where my work focuses on biomaterials and tissue engineering. My research involves the development of polymer-based and polymer–ceramic composite systems for orthopedic and dental implant applications, with particular emphasis on biocompatibility, tribocorrosion resistance, and antibacterial surface engineering. In parallel, I work on soft tissue engineering platforms, including hydrogels and porous scaffolds for wound healing and burn care management, aiming to enhance cellular response and regenerative outcomes. I also have hands-on experience in materials characterization, electrochemical analysis, and non-destructive testing (NDT), with the goal of contributing to clinically relevant and translational biomaterial solutions .
Research Interests
My research interests focus on biomaterials and tissue engineering for regenerative medicine, including both hard and soft-tissue applications. I work on polymer-based and polymer–ceramic composite systems for implant surface engineering, with emphasis on biocompatibility, tribocorrosion resistance, and antibacterial functionality. In parallel, I am interested in soft tissue engineering approaches, such as hydrogels and porous scaffolds, for wound healing and burn care management, aiming to enhance cellular response and tissue regeneration through controlled material design and surface modification .

Synergistic effect of zirconia and zinc oxide incorporation in polyether ether ketone based coating deposited via electrophoretic deposition for orthopedic implants
A critical issue that contributes to implant failure is poor tribocorrosion resistance of 316L SS implants in the human body. In this study, a novel composite coating of polyether ether ketone (PEEK)–zirconia (ZrO2)–zinc oxide (ZnO) with optimize ...
