Dr Sajjad has been performing in teaching inorganic chemistry courses to BS(hons)/M.Sc, M.Phil/MS and PhD at the basic and advanced level since 2013. He earned his doctoral degree in inorganic chemistry from the Institute of Chemical Sciences, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan; Pakistan in 2013 on the title “Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Properties of Vanadyl(IV) Complexes with Triazole Derived Compounds. During research, he worked extensively on synthesis, characterization and biological investigation of metal based compounds and state-of-the-art characterization techniques like IR, NMR, XRD, Mass, UV-Visible, Magnetic Susceptibility, and Conductance. He had six months research experience at the Department of Chemistry, University of Manchester, UK in 2008-09. Because of his advanced trainings on these above mentioned instruments, he deals in these instruments confidently to support inorganic research work. On personal level of research, he had produced a number of research publications and book chapters in the international peer review journals and publishers. Additionally, he is supervising PhD and M.Phil students in the field of inorganic chemistry. For future, he is scheming on advanced applied research to serve the community on the basis of his own research capacity and through established collaboration with national and international research groups and research scientists. He is coauthor of more than 120 publications in international impact factor bearing journals, which received more than 3620 citations, with H-index of 41 and impact factor is more than 400.
