Teaching


  • Undergraduate theory courses developed and taught at LUMS
  • Advance organic chemistry (Chem-334, spring 2012, spring 2013, spring 2014, spring 2015, spring 2019, spring 2020, spring 2021, spring 2022 and spring 2023): The last of the three organic chemistry courses that undergrads take in their senior year order to graduate as chemistry majors.
  • Introduction to drug discovery and development (Chem-352/Bio-352, fall 2012): An elective course designed for the chemistry and biology seniors/junior. The aim of this course was to give students a holistic approach to the process from identification of the biological target to selling the drug in the market.
  • Spectroscopy – Theory, and Applications (Chem-333/Phy-333, spring 2013): The course introduced the juniors to various spectroscopic techniques including NMR, Mass, IR and UV.
  • Chemistry of organic functional groups (Chem-332, fall 2014, fall 2015, fall 2016, fall 2017, fall 2018, fall 2019, fall 2020, fall 2021 and fall 2022): The second of the three organic chemistry courses for undergrad students.

  • Graduate theory courses developed and taught at LUMS
  • Retrosynthesis (Chem-534, spring 2014): The organic chemistry courses for MS students that discusses various retrosynthetic approaches for the synthesis of the organic molecules.
  • Organic Synthesis (Chem-734, spring 2014): The 3rd organic chemistry for PhD students that is aimed at introducing advanced ideas of organic synthesis to the students.
  • Chemistry Research seminar (Chem-502 spring 2014, fall 2015, spring 2018): The course involved the training of graduate students to deliver research talk.
  • Chemistry Literature seminar (Chem-501 spring 2015, fall 2016, spring 2016, fall 2017, fall 2018): The course involved the training of graduate students to deliver literature of their research work.
  • Organic Spectroscopy (Chem-533, spring 2016, spring 2017, spring 2018, spring 2019, spring 2020, spring 2021, spring 2022 and spring 2023): The course is designed to discuss the application of various spectroscopic techniques including NMR, Mass, IR, and UV in the structure elucidation of the organic compounds.

  • Lab course developed and taught at LUMS
  • Organic Chemistry Lab II (Chem-430, fall 2012, fall 2013, fall 2014. fall 2015, fall 2016, fall 2017 and spring 2018): The last of the two labs that chemistry majors have to take in their senior year.
