I have completed my undergraduate studies in Geophysics from Quaid e Azam University Islamabad, Pakistan, in April 2018, with a CGPA of 3.7 out of 4.00. I was an active somehow indulgent student among others during my undergraduate studies, very often involved in many curricular and co-curricular activities. I took 2nd position in the list of 40 students in my undergraduate class. I am the silver medalist of my class. At Quaid e Azam University I had the opportunity to work in the geophysics department labs under Dr.Gulraiz Akhter Chairman of the department of earth sciences for a project titled " Seismic and Well Log Interpretation of Fimkassar area Upper Indus Basin Pakistan'' .I completed 6 weeks internship at OMV (Pakistan) Exploration GmbH OMV Maurice Energy Limited, Islamabad.
I have chosen to apply for the University of Skoltec, because I really like its study system. Skoltech educates graduates who will solve future problems by creating and using future technology as well as being active in future markets.

If I can get an opportunity to be a part of that intellectually stimulating environment, I am sure my talents will be put to optimal use.
