From 2010 to 2013, he served as a chemist in the Feed & Water Testing Lab, Rawalpindi. His research interests include structural Biology & Bioinformatics. I am currently inclined toward the data science and learning and teaching various aspects of data science like R, Python and SQL. I personally think that data sciences are going to be the most important aspect of research in the near future and it is need of time to learn it. I am really thankful to http://www.datacamp.com for providing me and my student the free access to all courses. This will help us alot to learn the skills in this field.
