Academic and Professional Background I began my educational journey at Govt. Primary School 116 J.B., Faisalabad, Pakistan, and completed my matriculation from the nearby Govt. High School 115 J.B. I pursued my intermediate and B.Sc. (Chemistry, Zoology, Botany) at Govt. College Faisalabad (now GCUF), followed by an M.Sc. in Chemistry from the University of Punjab, Lahore. During my M.Sc. research at the Nuclear Institute for Agriculture and Biology (NIAB), Faisalabad, I explored soil carbohydrate dynamics using flame photometry, UV-VIS spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction. This work was later published in the Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition. After gaining six years of professional experience in the chemical, education, and textile sectors, I was awarded an HEC Indigenous Scholarship (Batch-3) and enrolled in a Ph.D. program at the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Farooq Anwar. I earned my Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry in 2012 with a dissertation titled "Characterization of Selected Varieties of Rice (Oryza sativa) and Its By-product Rice Bran for Valuable Nutrients and Antioxidants." My doctoral work employed advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, GC-MS, and ICP-OES. Currently, I serve as a faculty member specializing in analytical chemistry, teaching and supervising BS (Hons), M.Phil/MS, and Ph.D. students. My research centers on food and environmental analysis, focusing on nutrient profiling and detecting emerging contaminants in soil and water. I have collaborated extensively with national and international scholars, resulting in over 3000 citations, an H-Index of 31, and publications with a cumulative impact factor exceeding 250. In addition to teaching and supervision, I am committed to applied research that addresses real-world challenges. My goal is to foster innovation and sustainability through collaborative research, contributing meaningfully to the scientific community and society.
My research preferences food and environment analysis. Analysis focused on exploring natural food compositions and detecting environmental contaminants of emerging concerns

| Waqar Ahmed | Ph.D | Effect of industrial landfill leachates on metal speciation contaminating soil and water of selected regions of Pakistan Solid waste is increasing due to growth in mechanization and population and it has become a worldwide issue. The leachate leaks from solid waste dumping site pollute soil and ground water that effect the health of human beings. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to find the toxic metals (As, Cr, Cu and Mn) and heavy metals (Ba, Cd, Hg and Pb) of landfill leachates which effect the soil and water of Sialkot, Gujranwala and Faisalabad, cities of Punjab, Pakistan. After sampling of selected points, X-Ray Fluorescence analysis was performed to reveal the elemental composition of leachates and soil samples. Following elements As, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ba, Cd, Hg, Pb were selected for the onward Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectroscopy analysis. CRM (SRM 2709a) of San Joaquin for soil and (SRM 1640a) for water were used to confirm accuracy of the metals like As, Ba, Cd, Cu, Cr, Hg, Mn and Pb from collected samples and results were presented as % recovery.
