Rimsha Irfan, a 2019 SBASSE Chemistry graduate, has won the Harding Distinguished Postgraduate Scholars Leverage Scholarship to join the University of Cambridge!

The dream of many ambitious students is knitted with the hope of learning from the very best that the world of education and academics has to offer. Rimsha, while studying at the Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering, found the first glimmer of that hope with Dr. Rahman Shah Zaib Saleem, who played a big role in inspiring her intellect to pursue greater things and soar even higher. “I am extremely grateful to Dr. Rahman Shah Zaib Saleem, for instilling in me good research skills, discipline, and integrity - all of which has led me here [University of Cambridge]”. Rimsha also thanked the entire Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering in helping set a conducive environment for thorough learning throughout her tenure. Rimsha has worked in Dr. Rahman Shah Zaib’s group for her SProj and had managed to publish one article as the first author, before graduating in 2019.

Rimsha Irfan has started her MPhil program in Chemistry at the University of Cambridge (Fitzwilliam College). This will be a fully funded program. We extend our hearty congratulations to her and wish her success in all her future endeavors.
