Dr. Muhammad Perviaz has 12 years of an international career as a Research Scientist, chemical and food consultant, chemist, and Lead Researcher. He received his Ph.D. from HEJ, Research Institute of Chemistry, University of Karachi, Pakistan in 2018.
During his research work, IRSIP (International Research Support Initiative Program) scholarship was awarded by “The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan” to Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece in 2010. He has been teaching in the Applied Chemistry Department and Chemical Technology, University of Karachi, SZABIST (Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology, Karachi) and Aga Khan Education Services, Pakistan for thirteen years.
Another scholarship was bestowed by Intel International Science & Engineering Fair Phoenix, Arizona, USA during his teaching chemistry and mentoring his students in Aga Khan Education Services, Pakistan, and invited amongst 82 countries for international science and engineering fair competition in Phoenix, Arizona, USA in 2019.
Dr. Muhammad Perviaz triggered the curiosity in young researchers for science, so he supervised his students on twenty-five major projects in the fields of chemical, biological, and medicinal sciences, won prizes at the provincial level in ten projects, national level five prizes, and international level two prizes in Intel International Science & Engineering Fair competitions during (2009-2022).
His research spans the fields of Coordination and Bioinorganic Chemistry; Biophysical Chemistry and Biological Sciences; Nano-Chemistry; Quantum Chemistry and Computational Chemistry. Dr. Muhammad Perviaz’s research interest includes the synthesis of organometallics, transition metal complexes, kinetics, and thermodynamics studies of reaction mechanism, function, reactivity, and control of transition metals at the interfaces of biological systems and their connection with different diseases and life cycles. He has a curiosity about the design of inorganic-organic nanoassemblies, their characterization, surface functionalization; optical properties, photo electrochemistry; and sensor applications for light energy conversion and photovoltaics. Moreover, he loves to work with different computational chemistry software like MOPAC, PC MODEL, GAMESS, Gaussian View and Gaussian, etc.
