MPhil Student in International Relations
University of Management and Technology, Lahore
Studies in foreign policy, diplomacy, regional politics and environmental security, supported by experience in communications, teaching and public-sector record management.
I am an MPhil student in International Relations at the University of Management and Technology, Lahore. I hold a BS in International Relations from Lasbela University of Agriculture, Water and Marine Sciences, where my studies covered foreign policy, diplomacy, regional politics, security and international law. My background includes communications work in education, public-sector record management and mathematics teaching, alongside further training in research methodology and climate action.
My interests centre on how states define foreign-policy priorities, how institutions respond to shared challenges, and how regional cooperation can address security and environmental concerns.
My further training spans research methodology, academic writing and data analysis. I am developing ways to connect careful reading of policy documents and relevant data with clear communication for academic and wider audiences.
These themes represent developing research interests rather than approved thesis topics or completed publications.
Exploring how states define foreign-policy priorities, manage regional relationships, and use diplomacy to address shared problems, with an interest in South Asia and the Middle East.
Examining the connections between environmental change, human security, public policy and international cooperation, with particular interest in adaptation and climate communication.
