Precision is a habit, not a setting on the instrument.
I'm a BS Chemistry graduate from Government College University Faisalabad, finishing with a 3.92 CGPA and the Chief Minister's Honhaar Undergraduate Scholarship for academic distinction. My final-year thesis was a literature review on photoredox and metallaphotoredox catalysis for C–C bond formation — the work behind my first manuscript.
At the bench, theory met practice: pharmaceutical quality control at TS Laboratories, drinking-water analysis at a government testing facility, and a year assisting in undergraduate chemistry practicals. Each taught the same lesson from a different angle — discipline and method are what separate a measurement from a guess.
I'm now looking for an MS position in Organic Chemistry (2027) where I can move from reviewing reactions to running them.
