Navigating the Academic Landscape

I started my joint PhD on November 04, 2024 between University of Copenhagen and University of Adelaide under the supervision of Professsor Carsten Rahbek and Associate Professor Damien Fordham. I will try to investigate the pre-European distribution of Australian digging marsupials and the loss of their ecological functions due to extinctions and range contractions.

I have my second masters MSc Applied Data Science (Ecology and Evolution) at University of Exeter Penryn Campus, Cornwall England. I did my dissertation project on Differential Gene Expression in Japanese Quails, under the supervision of Dr Bram Kuijper.

I got my first master degree in Zoology with Wildlife Ecology major from Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad, Pakistan. As this was a research based degree, I conducted intensive field work utilizing Camera trapping and non-invasive genetic sampling to document the abundance and density of Mammals with a focus on large carnivores and there prey species. I worked in the rugged and inhospitable mountainous terrain of Himalayas and Hindukush across Northern Pakistan. All of these fields were carried out under the supervision and generous support of Dr Muhammad Ali Nawaz.
