Biography

Dr. Zulfiqar Ali Raza, Associate Professor Chemistry, received his doctoral degree in Physical Chemistry (in 2007) with specialization in Polymer Chemistry from National Center of Excellence in Physical Chemistry, the University of Peshawar-Pakistan in collaboration with the National Institute for Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering (NIBGE), Faisalabad, and Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS), Islamabad. Dr. Raza is regarded among the pioneers who have initiated research activities and culture in the NTU by establishing chemistry research laboratories there. He originated the application of biotechnology in the conventional and advanced textile processes and products at NTU. He introduced, at NTU, the research related to antibacterial textiles for medical and environmental applications. He was the first to bring funded research projects in the textile/chemistry domain to this university. Currently, he is employing novel nanobiotechnology products and processes for applications in antibacterial and medical textiles, and in advanced materials.
