PhD., Facilities Management, Heriot-Watt University, Scotland
MSc., Construction Project Management, Heriot-Watt University, Scotland
MBA (Finance), Institute of Business Administration (IBA-Karachi), Pakistan

My academic interests lie in development projects, especially those in the energy sector. I explore the urban development and business sustainability (especially waste and water management) using the project delivery lens. I am particularly interested in pro-environmental behavior, corporate sustainbility and renewable energy.

As an instructor, I like to create (and be a part of) learning environments that and engage with industry and public sector. I engage with practitioners through various practice-led and academia-led platforms and have undertaken capacity building assignments in the oil and gas sector, and the public sector. I am particularly interested in public sector service delivery and policy-practice integration.

Previously, I have been Interim Dean of Student Affairs at the Lahore University of Management Sciences. Looking after the affairs of a 5000+ student body, Office of Student Affairs (OSA) looks after key aspects of student life such as campus life and accommodation, sports, advisement and wellbeing, academic and disciplinary matters, student governance and societies.

I have also led the Centre for Business and Society (CBS) for three years since its inception in 2019. CBS is Suleman Dawood School of Business (SDSB)'s flagship centre and has been structured around the UN-SDGs framework. As Founding Director, my onus has been on ensuring that not only does CBS have international visibility, but that it embodies the vision and ethos of Pakistan's premier B-School - SDSB. The Centre provides an interface between practice and academia and has been curated as a space for innovative and inclusive conversations about matters that affect business practice - and its impact on wider society.
