Academic Career:
- Ph. D. University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada
- M.Phil. (Structural Geology), University of Peshawar, Pakistan
- M. Sc. (Geology), Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario Canada
- B. Sc. (Hons), University of Peshawar, Pakistan
Research Interests:
I am interested in mountain building processes and in the structures that develop during these processes at various scales.
- I am also interested in regional tectonics, geodynamics, field mapping and the geometric and kinematic evolution folds and faults.
- Centrifuge Modeling and Computer Modeling(2DMove).
