EDUCATION

 Ph.D., Theoretical Physics (2006) - State University of New York at Albany  M. Phil., Particle Physics (1993) - Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan  M. Sc., Physics (1990) - Gomal University, D. I. Khan, Pakistan AREAS OF STUDY AND RESEARCH Quantum theory, path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, Lie groups, nonlinear group algebras and genrelized coherent states for non-linear algebras, supersymmetric quantum mechanics and coherent states for supersymmetric quantum systems, fundamental questions in quantum theory

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE TEACHING AND RESEARCH

 Assistant Professor (June 2009 – Continued) – Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad Courses Teaught: Advanced Quantum Mechanics (PH-603), Methods of Mathematical Physics (PH- 601), Methods of Mathematical and Computational Physics (PH-308), Methods of Mathematical Physics (PH- 301), Basic Electromagnetism (PH-302), Classical Mechanics (PH-304)

Research: Currently I am working on mathematical construction of generalized coherent states and on fundamental questions in theoretical physics. Please see my recent publications.

 Assistant Professor (Feb 2008 – June 2009) – National Center for Physics, Islamabad Worked on problems in theoretical physics and specifically on constructing coherent states for deformed Lie algebras. Collaborated with a group working on problems in Quantum Plasma. Involved in teaching activities organized by the center. Taught a course on particle physics to a group of graduate students that came to the center from Peshawar University. Also served as a permanent member of the selection committee.  Adjunct Faculty (Sep. 2006 – Jan. 2007) – State University of New York at Albany Taught calculus based physics course (Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday, Resnick and Walker) to two sections of undergraduate students. Taught an undergraduate summer course in physics at the same department in 2007.

 Teaching Assistant (Sep. 2001 – July 2006) – State University of New York at Albany Taught two sections of undergraduate physics labs each semester.

 Lecturer in Physics (Sep. 1997 – Mar. 2001) – University of Peshawar, Pakistan Taught courses in Quantum Mechanics, Nuclear Physics, Particle Physics and Classical Electrodynamics at M. Sc. level.  Research (2002 – 2006) – State University of New York at Albany Worked on problems in generalized coherent states and coherent states for non-linear algebras, which have numerous applications in theoretical and experimental physics. Quantum computation with coherent states was also a part of my doctoral thesis.

(1992 – 1996) – Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad Worked on problems in theoretical particle physics. Wrote a M. Phil thesis on Rare Decays and CP Violation. Worked afterwards on some rare decay problems in the framework of MSSM (Minimally extended Supersymmetric Standard Model). Please see my publications list. AWARDS AND HONORS

 Teaching Assistant of the Year Award (2003 – 2004)  World Laboratory Research Fellow (1994 – 1997) World Laboratory Fellowship for research scholars: This provides funding for research scholars to the top most students who qualify a GRE (Physics) type local test.
