Personal

I was born and raised in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. It’s a beautiful city, and I have many fond memories of the place. You can check out the links at the bottom of the page for more information about my country.

I came to the U.S in 2001 for graduate studies. It has been a great learning experience for me. I have met some really nice people, made many new friends, and visited some fun places; a few pictures from trips to Hawaii, Los Angeles, Chicago, England, and Bahamas.

My family lives in Islamabad, and I frequently visit the place. There is always something happening back home; birthdays, anniversaries, parties etc., here are some pictures from my recent visits. My parents are both physicists. My father did his Ph.D. in 1966 from Oxford. He was recently awarded Nishan-e-Imtiaz, Pakistan’s highest civil award, for his achievements in nuclear physics. My mother was a professor of physics for 35 years before we convinced her to spend more time with us; a few pictures from her retirement day.
