U. A. Raja

. I am graduated from Capital University of Science & Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan under the supervision of Prof: Dr. S. Hussain, in January 2022.
My research area includes the continuum mixture theory modelling of multiphasic deformations, along with the numerical simulations of nonlinear partial differential equations. I have two publications related to the applications of mixture theory modelling on soft tissues deformations along with couple of accepted manuscript will publish soon (please see my CV). I have extensive teaching experience as a graduate student instructor. My goal in teaching is to foster the acquisition of a base of concepts and learning skills to facilitate further learning and thinking. In all of my courses I guide students in the evaluation of evidence, critical thinking, argument development, verbal and written expression, and the application of general principles to novel settings. These competencies will equip students for a broad range of demands in future academic and occupational settings. Of course, I also expect my students to attain a high level of scholarship in specific content areas, especially in graduate courses in which course content is directly relevant to students’ careers. To promote the development of general thinking and learning skills, as well as facilitate an understanding of course content, all of my courses are structured around three common themes: an emphasis on psychological research, the development of writing skills and the generation of enthusiasm for scientific inquiry. Exposure to research literature is an integral part of my course plans, in part because comprehension of course material is enhanced by an understanding of the methods used to discover that information. Moreover, an emphasis on the discovery of knowledge fosters an appreciation of research design and methodology, and more generally, of the importance of critical evaluation. These skills make students thoughtful consumers of scientific ideas presented in both academic and popular media sources. As I indicate in my research statement, I have investigated this issue in a collaborative research project on science learning in undergraduate students. To familiarize students with research, my lectures always cover the methodology by which principles are discovered. Furthermore, I have expertise in solving nonlinear partial differential equations arising in daily life problems using numerical scheme method of lines on MATLAB. I have explored the mechanical behavior of a soft tissue, like, articular cartilage, during passage of non-Newtonian fluids using power-law model. I have incorporated strain dependent permeability in the power-law model that was found in the permeation experiments.  I am a quality-oriented professional who has been consistently praised as quality-oriented by my co-workers and management. Over the course of my 10-years career, I’ve developed a skill set directly relevant to the Postdoctoral Fellow role you are hiring for, including research. Overall, I have consistently demonstrated analytical, creative thinking and research abilities in every aspect of my lecturer role at Punjab Govt Education Department, Pakistan, and I invite you to review my detailed described in the resume.

Working on the mathematical modeling of multiphasic deformation behaviors reported in engineering and bio-medical sciences. My goal of teaching is to developed critical thinking in the minds of student through which they can performed in an efficient ways of 21 century needs. In all of my courses I guide students in the evaluation of evidence, critical thinking, argument development, verbal and written expression, and the application of general principles to novel settings. These competencies will equip students for a broad range of demands in future academic and occupational settings. Of course, I also expect my students to attain a high level of scholarship in specific content areas, especially in graduate courses in which course content is directly relevant to students’ careers. To promote the development of general thinking and learning skills, as well as facilitate an understanding of course content, all of my courses are structured around three common themes: an emphasis on psychological research, the development of writing skills and the generation of enthusiasm for scientific inquiry.
