Ms. Saima Noor and Ms. Ghulam Sughra have defended their PhD dissertations at the Department of Physics, while both of the scholars were supervised by of Dr. Shamaila Sajjad Associate Professor, Department of Physics .
Ms. Saima Noor has focused her research work on electrochemical water splitting for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions, Photocatalysis energy oriented and environmental remediation applications through cost effective and environmentally friendly nanomaterials based on Carbon and metals oxides. The supervisor told that this high-level work is performed in Nano photo Catalysis lab established by her through HEC-NRPU funding. She added that This work brings new insight for designing multifunctional materials for energy conversion and environmental remediation applications.
Scholar’s research output has been published in world reputable SCI journals i.e., Journal of cleaner production Impact Factor = 9.297 (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959652620333254), International Journal of Hydrogen Energy (Impact Factor = 5.816) and Journal of Environmental Sciences (Impact Factor = 5.569). She has achieved accumulative Impact Factor of 35 from seven publications of her PhD work.
Meanwhile, Ms. Ghulam Sughra’s research endeavours have been published in world prestigious SCI journal, Journal of Hazardous materials having an Impact Factor of 10.588 (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304389419310416). Her accumulative impact factor is more than 30 from her 5 out class publications. The quality work of a researcher is always valuable. This work was also performed in Nano photo Catalysis lab. The Supervisor said that the research field of Ms. Ghulam Sughra Jamila is Photocatalytic wastewater treatment, energy production applications via Nano-composites based on Carbon quantum dots modified metal oxides. Carbon quantum dots are emerging new materials utilized in diverse fields. Thus the facile and easy route to synthesize nanocomposites exhibiting enhanced photocatalytic degradation efficiencies can be competently applied for waste water treatment.
