"I am an Environmentalist, and, therefore, I recommend you care about it before it's too late"
My complete name is Qazi Asif Saleh Qureshi and I was born to educator parents on 3rd of February 1986. I received my education till my first university degree from my home town (Nawabshah, Sindh-Pakistan). I started my career with my first job as Lab Engineer at the same engineering department (i.e. Energy and Environment Engineering Department) where I was awarded my Bachelor’s at the Quaid-e-Awam University of Engineering, Science and Technology (QUEST), Nawabshah, Pakistan. After about two years of work, I was offered Lectureship at Institute of Environmental Engineering and Management at an other renowned university of the Country, the Mehran University of Engineering and Technology (MUET), Jamshoro, Pakistan where I worked for a period of about a year. In 2012, I was offered and awarded a faculty position at QUEST again along with a scholarship to pursue my higher studies abroad under a faculty development project of Higher Education Commission (HEC) Islamabad, Pakistan. I completed my PhD studies in Applied Geochemistry at Luleå University of Technology, Luleå, Sweden on 15th December 2016 under supervision of Prof. Björn Öhlander and Associate Prof. Christian Maurice. I am currently working as Assistant Prof. at QUEST since 13th January 2017.
Being a PhD in Applied Geochemistry, Licentiate in Applied Geology and Bachelor's in Energy and Environment, I have mainly worked with land and water pollution to ensure sustainable industrialisation and development.
Waste (overburden) and tailings from metal and coal mines
Ashes from power plants and green liquor dregs from pulp and paper mills with highly alkaline properties
The mineralogical composition of mine waste, fly ashes and green liquor dregs. Experience of XRD, XRF and SEM.
Water contamination from mining and industrial waste, wastewater and effluents.
The chemical composition of the solid and liquid samples using HPLC, GC, ICP–AES and ICP–MS.
Compilation of large datasets (mostly MS Excel), their statistics (Simca Umetrics, Sigmaplot and OriginPro) and geochemical modeling (GWB and PHREEQC).
