Profile Summary

I am currently serving as Director Institute of Physics (IoP) and Chairman Department of Physics at The Islamia University of Bahawalpur (IUB), Punjab 63100 (Pakistan). I am HEC Approved PhD Supervisor, and am leading the Materials Simulation Group (MSG) at IoP-IUB. I got my Post Doctorate (PostDoc) from the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC), Missouri (USA), and PhD in Physics from IUB. I have 25 years of research/teaching experience. My Teaching areas are Solid State Physics, Materials Science, Electricity and Magnetism and Mechanics. Currently, I am involved in the Simulation of Heusler alloys, Nitrides, Oxides, Carbides and MAX phases. I have published 85 research papers in international peer reviewed journals, with a total impact factor of 310. I have supervised numerous PhD (09) and MPhil (107) students.
