Israr Ali Khan

I was born on 01-02-1981, in a rural area of Mianwali, Pakistan. I obtained my early education from Govt. Higher Secondary School Musa Khel, Mianwali. I obtained M.Sc (Mathematics) and M.Phil (Mathematics) degrees from Asghar Mall College Rwp and Qauid-i-Azam University Islamabad, respectively. The details of my education is as follows: Degree/Certificate with year of passing SSC, 1996 HSSC, 1998 B.Sc , 2001 M.Sc, 2003 M.Phil , 2006 PhD, 2011 Institution, City, Country Group/Specialization/ Topic %age obtaine d 70% 50% 52% 64% 80% 97% CGPA obtained Any Distinction obtained in academic NA NA NA NA NA NA

After my M.Sc, I was teaching in different private schools and academies to earn for my living and to support my family, I completed M.Phil during very difficult financial situation because I had to teach from morning to evening to support my family. I was highly motivated to pursue further study to become a professional researcher. But I could not afford self-financed higher studies. Thanks to Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan for launching scholarship programs for higher studies. I got a HEC scholarship for PhD study under HEC-USETP (China) program. I successfully completed my PhD (Mathematics) study within specified duration. During PhD study, I published four research papers in international journals. Selected journal papers are given below.

I strongly believe that HEC selection process is fair and based on merit because it was impossible for a person like me to complete self-financed higher studies in any foreign country and HEC made this dream true. I enjoyed full cooperation and prompt responses from HEC during my PhD study. My field of specialization is Linear Algebra / Matrix Analysis, which is basic course in every kind of engineering. Unfortunately, we can not find any researcher in this important and applicable field in Pakistan but now, InshaALLAH, I will establish a research group in this field. After Arrival in Pakistan, I have joined a university of Pakistan where I can provide teaching, research and development services. It would be an honor for me to serve my beloved country. At last, I am highly grateful to Higher Education Commission of Pakistan for providing me full financial support during my three years studies in China.
