In May 2007, I joined the Department of Mining Engineering, UET Lahore as a Faculty Lecturer. I taught courses including Intro to Mining, Rock Mechanics, Engineering Geology, Mine Survey lab, and Slope stability. I was also assigned to prepare and invigilate examinations and grade and prepare the results. I organized and supervised two weeks of field survey camps in the summer at Abbottabad, Khyber Paktoon Khawa (years 2007 to 2010). I also took part in the accreditation process for the Mining Engineering program. In 2010, I secured a Ph.D. position at McGill University, which I joined in the fall semester of 2010. From 2010 to 2013, I worked on a collaborative research grant for my Ph.D. research. The case study mine was Birchtree mine in Thompson, MB, and the funding agencies for the project were NSERC and Vale. In the process, I published my research in journals and presented it at conferences. McGill University awarded me excellence in research awards in 2012, 2013, and 2014. I was also awarded a medal for excellence in research by the McGill University. I have also been a part of leading and organizing training workshops at McGill University. I also carried out field trips to Val-d’Or, QC, Abitibi, QC, and Sudbury, ON. After my Ph.D., I continued as a Post-doctor fellow at the Mine Design Lab at McGill University, where I worked with Vale mines in Sudbury.
