About Me
About Me
Hello! I am an MS Structural Engineering student at the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, Pakistan. Alongside my studies, I am working as a Research Associate at the Earthquake Engineering Center, University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Peshawar, Pakistan.
I completed my BS in Civil Engineering from COMSATS University Islamabad in August 2023, where I was honored with a Gold Medal in my final year.
