Work experience
Aga Khan University
7 yrs 2 mos
Peer Reviewer - International Journal of Surgery Case Reports / International Student Research Conference
Jun 2026 - Present • 4 mos
Peer reviewer for an Elsevier-indexed surgical journal and abstract reviewer for a medical research conference, having evaluated 40+ submissions. Assess whether findings are clearly presented and whether conclusions follow from the data. Directly relevant to graphical abstract work, where the difficulty is deciding what the single central message of a paper is before any design begins.
Scientific Figure and Poster Design - Aga Khan University
May 2023 - Present • 3 yrs 5 mos
Design scientific figures, data visualisations, and conference posters for clinical research in cardiology and surgery. Designed and presented a research poster at the 34th Annual Meeting of the Asian Society of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery (Antalya, Türkiye), covering layout, figure design, and data presentation for an international specialist audience. Prepared figures and data visualizations for peer-reviewed publications, working to journal specifications for resolution, panel labelling, and legend formatting. Familiar with the full submission and revision cycle, including production-stage figure requirements.
Research Author and Manuscript Contributor - Aga Khan University
May 2023 - Present • 3 yrs 5 mos
Author on three peer-reviewed publications and five manuscripts in preparation across cardiology, surgery, and infectious disease. Responsible for turning clinical datasets and study findings into figures, tables, and written summaries suited to a specialist readership. First author on a single-centre surgical outcomes study, handling data interpretation, figure preparation, and manuscript drafting. This work means I can read a paper, identify its central finding, and represent it visually without needing the science explained.
