About me
Medical Physicist at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, Ontario
Education
- Pakistan institute of engineering and applied sciences
  2001 - 2003
  Master's degree health/medical physics
  Activities and Societies: Hiking Club Blood donor Stage secretary for entertainment programs PIEAS is the only program that offers a Masters degree in Medical Physics in Pakistan. As a requirement for the completion of the degree program I worked for 4 months in the radiation therapy department of Skaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital Lahore Pakistan. For my research project I worked on the development of an in-vivo dosimetry system using the CR-39 detectors.
- Mcmaster university
  2008 - 2012
  Doctor of philosophy (phd) health/medical physics a
  I worked with Dr. Fiona McNeill for my PhD project at McMaster Univeristy. The main areas of research in the department of medical physics and applied radiation sciences at McMaster are trace element detection using neutron activation analysis and x-ray florescence techniques, radiation detector designing, and radiation biology.

The main areas of research in the department of medical physics and applied radiation sciences at McMaster are trace element detection using neutron activation analysis and x-ray florescence techniques, radiation detector designing, and radiation biology. My project was a hybrid of radiation biology and radiation physics. I designed an experimental facility for the absolute measurements of ultraviolet photons from a biological media irradiated with beta particles and from biologically equivalent materials irradiated with high energy protons generated from KN linear accelerator.
