Professional History:
Dr. Saira is currently working as Lecturer at Department of Physics since 2022. She did PhD
in Physics from University Teknologi Malaysia in 2021. Her area of research is
Computational Materials Physics, a fastest growing field in physics. Her research work is
based on Density Functional Theory implemented in WIEN2k code. WIEN2k is a
computational code used for electronic structure calculations. It utilizes full-potential
Linearized Augmented Plane Wave (LAPW) + local orbital (lo) method which is known for
its accuracy in band structure calculations. Dr. Saira has published six research articles in
journals of international repute. She is presently supervising students at BS, MS and PhD
level. She is coordinator of BS program and members of various committees working for the
uplift of department and smooth-running of ongoing teaching and research programs at
department of physics.
