Dr Nudrat Mubarik is a Lecturer in Chemistry Education in the Department of Chemistry, King’s College London. Nudrat graduated (MSc Inorganic/Analytical Chemistry) from Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan, in 2013. She subsequently completed her MPhil in Inorganic/Analytical Chemistry from the same university in 2015. In her MPhil research, she developed a green one-pot synthesis method for metal sulfide nanoparticles from single-source precursors for photocatalytic application under the supervision of Prof. Zia-ur-Rehman.

Nudrat began her teaching career as a lab demonstrator at the University of Wah in 2015, and became a Lecturer in 2017. Later, she joined Imperial College London on a fully funded PhD studentship and conducted research on the synthesis of porous materials for carbon capture application under the supervision of Dr Rob Davies, which she completed in 2023.

Throughout her PhD, Nudrat was heavily involved in undergraduate lab teaching, conducted workshops, and developed online teaching resources for remote teaching during the covid-pandemic, working as a Junior Teaching Fellow.

After spending a year working in the housing industry as a sustainability analyst at ‘Future Homes Hub’, Nudrat joined King’s College London as a Lecturer in 2024. She has designed curriculums for an advanced chemistry topic based on her PhD research taught to 3^rd year undergraduates. She has a strong interest in incorporating sustainability into the curriculum and is currently a part of the ‘Education for Sustainability’ project. She acts as an academic representative in the Department’s EDI committee and helps with departmental outreach activities.
