From March 2021 to July 2021, Dr. Asim Abbasi served as a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Central Punjab, Lahore (Bahawalpur Campus). During this time, he taught courses in Conservation Biology (ZOL 4832) and Evolution and Principles of Systematics (ZOL 3961).
From May 2022 to May 2023, Dr. Abbasi held the position of Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Environmental Sciences, Kohsar University Murree, Pakistan. His responsibilities included teaching, research, and administrative duties. Additionally, he served as a committee member of the Board of Studies (BOS Agriculture & Environmental Sciences) and taught several courses, including Biodiversity & Conservation (FOR 302), Applied Botany (BOT 204), Introduction to Environmental Sciences (ENV 101), Fundamentals of Earth Sciences (ENV 303), and Conservation Biology (BOT-306).
Research Interests:
Dr. Asim Abbasi is a dedicated researcher with a keen interest in plant science, particularly in understanding the mechanisms of plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. His research focuses on the role of silicon in enhancing plant resistance to various stresses, such as pests and diseases, as well as environmental factors. Dr. Abbasi is also passionate about studying arthropod-plant interactions, including bi- and tri-trophic interactions, to improve pest management strategies. His work extends to the biological and microbial control of insect pests, aiming for sustainable pest management practices. Additionally, Dr. Abbasi is involved in research on integrated pest management (IPM) and the management of abiotic stresses in crop plants, contributing to the development of resilient agricultural systems.
