I am Dr. Anila Ali, Professor and Chairperson of the Department of Environmental Sciences at BUITEMS, Quetta.

I hold a Ph.D. in Environmental Health and Safety (Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia), an MS in Environmental Management and Policies (BUITEMS), and a Gold Medal in Psychology (University of Balochistan). My research focuses on environmental risks, climate resilience, and human well-being, with several Best Paper Awards at international conferences in Malaysia. I have published widely on noise pollution, climate impacts, and urban sustainability, and currently serve as Co-PI of a Green Climate Fund–HEC project (KnowTex). Alongside teaching, I actively engage in policy dialogues, capacity building, and youth empowerment initiatives, aiming to strengthen climate resilience and sustainable development in Balochistan.
