(Hons.) Thesis: Mitigating Terminal Drought in Wheat (Triticumaestivum L.) through Seed Enhancement Techniques AREAS OF EXPERTIES ❖ Weed Biology and Ecology ❖ Crop Production under Stressful Environments ❖ Species Distribution Modelling ❖ Climate Change WORK EXPERIENCE i. Worked in a project funded by Bahauddin Zakariya University to improve wheat productivity through seed enhancement techniques under drought stress (part of MSc thesis) ii. 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. I actively used Geographic Information System (GIS) through ARCGIS and R software to develop models for understanding plant invasion in Turkey under changing climate and other environmental conditions. iii. Worked as Visiting Lecturer at Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan (2012-2014) iv. 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 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 used 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.
