Professor Dr. Syed Arif Kamal (Web)

Professor Dr. Syed Arif Kamal, Professor (BPS-21), Department of Mathematics, University of Karachi, obtained his BSc (Honors), MSc and PhD from University of Karachi, MS from Indiana University, Bloomington, USA and MA from the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA as Quaid-é-Azam Scholar.


His awards and honors include throughout First-Class-First Position and 4 gold medals for scholastic achievements. He is a member of American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), International Brain Research Organization (IBRO), the Karachi University Senate, Academic Council and Boards of Faculty. As member of Expert Panel on Curriculum of Mathematics, Ministry of Education, Government of Pakistan, he reviewed mathematics syllabi and textbooks for Classes I-XII. He acts as Subject Expert (Mathematics) on the Selection/Interview Boards of University of Balochistan, Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) and Federal Public Service Commission. He is, also, a referee of Clinical Biomechanics (Elsavier), Proceedings of the Pakistan Academy of Sciences and Journal of Scientific and Industrial Research.


His research, teaching and administrative experiences in institutions of higher learning and R&D organizations span over 26 years. He had an opportunity to lead teams in 5 different capacities, Chairman, Department of Mathematics (2003-6), Project Director, the NGDS Pilot Project (1998-present), Chairman, Board of Studies for Mathematics  (2003-6) and Convener, Program in Industrial and Business Mathematics, University of Karachi (2003-6) as well as Convener, National Curriculum Revision Committee for Mathematics, Higher Education Commission, Government of Pakistan (2004-present), which prepared BS, MS and PhD curricula. In addition, he is contributing in grooming future leaders as Program Coördinator of the Early Talent Research Participation Program, University of Karachi (2002-present). He has 96 papers to his credit (81 as solo/first/ corresponding author) in biomathematics, astrodynamics, relativity, physical mathematics and algebra.


His contributions to mathematics include defining determinant of a general tensor, introducing cardiac coördinates to study heart function, developing astrodynamical coördinates to study bounded keplarian motion, formulating Strong Noether’s Theorem to study particle symmetries, extending special theory of relativity (by introducing periodic functions) to include speed ranges c to infinity and devising new control laws (complete mathematical formulation with proof), the extended-cross-product steering, the dot-product steering and the ellipse-orientation steering for spacecrafts and satellites, making mathematical models of brain, heart, spinal column and growth of children. In addition, he has written a critical review of Richard H. Battin’s book, “An Introduction to the Mathematics and the Methods of Astrodynamics”.

 

He has given 60 colloquia, guest lectures, presentations and seminars at various institutions of higher learning, including Air War College, the Aga Khan University, Higher Education Commission, the Abdus-Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics, Italy and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA (upcoming presentation details at: http://www.ngds-ku.org/kamal/Presentations.htm). In addition, he has conducted 21 trainings and workshops as well as in-service and professional development courses.

Dr. Sarwar Jahan Abbasi

Dr. Sarwar Jahan Abbasi completed her Graduation with distinction of First Class Third Position and obtained her Master's degree in applied mathematics with the honor of standing first class first in faculty of arts, University of Karachi. She got her Ph.D. in Algebra from University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, under the merit scholarship from the Ministry of Education, Islamabad, Pakistan.

She won the Post-doctrate Fellowship Award of The Abdus-Salam International for theoretical Physics, Trieste, Itlay . She holds not only to be the first but also the only Post-doctorate Fellow in Mathematics at the Centre from Pakistan, so far.

Dr. Abbasi is a pioneer in the field of Matrix Near Rings . An “almost impossible ”structure of Matrix Near Rings was constructed in 1985 by Professor J.D.P.Meldrum, University of Edinburg, UK , and Professor A.P.J. Van Der Walt, University of Stellenbosh, South Africa . Dr. Abbasi joined them and took the work much further. She made very significant contribution to the theory of Near Rings. Her work opened up new lines of inquiry in the field.

 Prof. Gunter pilz of University of Linz, Austria, Prof. Winfield Mueller, University of Klagenfurt, Austria and Department of Mathematics, University of St. Andrews, UK , invited her to deliver lectures on Matrix Near Rings. UNESCO awarded her ROSTSCA YOUNG SCIENTISTS AWARD 1990 , in recognition of the outstanding contribution in the field of Mathematics.

ABI (American Biographical Institute, Inc.) North Carolina USA published her biography in the Seventh Edition of The INTERNATIONAL DIRECTORY OF DISTINGUISHED LEADERSHIP released in 1997.

Dr. Abbasi represented Pakistan in many conferences in Scotland, Britain, Australia, Italy, Canada and Russia, and attended Advance Courses on Mathematical Biology (Canada). PDE (France) and Algebraic Geometry (Itlay).
