I have a broad range of theoretical interests covering many disciplines, using an even balance of analytical and numerical methods, and often work closely with experimentalists. The subjects I have worked on include ultracold quantum gases, entangled quantum dynamics, quantum electronics, quantum information and computers, classical and quantum chaos, quantum phase transitions, artificial lattice systems from optical lattices to graphene, solitons, vortices, fractals, and other nonlinear phenomena in nonlinear Schrodinger and nonlinear Dirac equations as realized in Bose-Einstein condensates and a variety of topics in mathematical physics and the physics of complex systems. I am honored to mentor an intense, active, diverse research group including undergraduates, MS and PhD graduate students.

I did my PhD in applied physics from Department of Quantum physics (Abteilung fuer Quantenphysik), University of Ulm, Germany, and got post-doctoratal research experience in Germany, Brazil, Italy, Japan and the USA. I have introduced new research horizons in Pakistan, which include Ultra-cold atoms, Bose-Einstein condensation, Nano Electro-Opto-Mechanics, Classical/Quantum Complex dynamics, Nano-Devices, Nonlinear Quantum optics, Quantum Information, and Quantum Computation. As invited speaker in international conferences and workshops, I have travelled around the globe and presented the research achievements made in my research group at QAU.

In addition, I have been working on the research topics on the pressing global problems of human survival, development, and welfare. In my work I have studied the higher radiation dosage in the soil of Hunza, Gilgit and Skardu and its effect on the people. This has helped to determine the higher than average radiation impact on the people and suggest them to improve their living accordingly. In the early days of COVID19 pandemic I presented modified mathematical models to control pandemic dynamics, that potentially helped to develop a national strategy to eradicate the pandemic nationally and internationally.

In 2001, I have made a science forum named as Enchanting Horizons of Science, which has served as a popular platform to discuss the latest issues in science and technology. In year 2005 I have launched first free-for-all web based international science journal ‘International Journal of Science Echoes’. In year 2021, I have launched the ‘Society for Promotion of Science’.

These platforms are educating research community, students and people in general about the latest science topics. In year 2021, I have launched the ‘Society for Promotion of Science’.
