WORK EXPERIENCE

i. Assistant Professor, Department of Plant Protection, Harran University,

Şanlıurfa Turkey, 23.10.2018 to date

ii. Worked in a project funded by Bahauddin Zakariya University to improve

wheat productivity through seed enhancement techniques under drought

stress (part of MSc thesis)

iii. Worked as BIDEB-Scholar in the project “Development of Monitoring and

Information system for alien plant species in Turkey”. The main duties

were to collect and analyze data and develop models for the potential

spread of alien species in the country. I used multivariate statistics

(CONACO and R software) to correlate the species’ distribution with

environment and soil factors.

iv. Worked as Visiting Lecturer at Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan

(2012-2014)

v. Worked as Soil Reclamation Officer (BS 17) at Directorate of Land

Reclamation, Irrigation Department, Govt. of Punjab (2012-2014)

RESEARCH INTERESTS

My specific interest are alien/exotic plant species, their spread patterns, spatial

distribution and future spread potential. I am curious to know “why invasive plant

species are there and how will they be distributed in future”. For finding these

answers I use correlative (MaxEnt model, Ensemble of different models like,

GLM, GBM, GAM, RF etc.) and mechanistic models (CLIMEX model) to

understand the current and future spread potential of invasive plant species at

different spatial scales. The germination biology and growth of native and non-

native plant species under stressful and benign environments are other focus areas

of my research.

AWARDS & GRANTS
