I earned my PhD from the Abdus Salam School of Mathematical Sciences, Government College University, Lahore, in June 2023. Shortly thereafter, I joined the Lahore School of Economics in August 2023, where I dedicated two enriching years to teaching and research. In recognition of my academic contributions, I was offered a prestigious postdoctoral fellowship at Stellenbosch University, which I proudly commenced on August 1, 2025.
