    A.    Research Fellow (15 May 2014-15 December 2014)

    I worked as a Research Fellow in cooperation with the Pavement Engineering research group in the following research projects:
    • “Riutilizzo di melme di verniciatura nelle pavimentazioni stradali (Reuse of paint sludge in road pavements)”; 
    •“Valutazione delle caratteristiche strutturali e funzionali di pavimentazioni stradali (Evaluation of structural and functional characteristics of road pavements)”.

    B.    PhD Scholar (January 2010 – April 2014)
    My research WORK was focused on Asphalt binders and their mixtures by evaluating different modified and neat binders for their rutting susceptibility. From binder testing a new protocol was developed. The research was extended to Asphalt mixtures produced with same binders mentioned above. One of the modified binders was obtained from mixing together bitumen with Crumb rubber (Obtained from used tires) was used in asphalt concrete.

    C.    Lecturer (September 2007-January 2010)
    I worked as lecturer for Two and half years in University of Engineering and Technology, Peshawar. At the undergraduate level, I taught different subjects e.g., Surveying 1, Engineering mechanics, Concrete Technology and Engineering Materials. In addition to this, I also supervised several undergraduate final year projects and helped students in their homework assignments.”
