ICON: What did you do once UET finished?
I always wanted to do a PhD and then the Rhodes scholarship came along. At that time, there were 2 scholarships for Pakistani’s but now they only have one. They accept applications then shortlist a few applicants and interview them. When I applied for a PhD in Physics and I had an engineering background so they were skeptical whether I would be able to do a PhD in Physics and whether Oxford would grant me an admission in Physics with my EE background. But then in the end, it all worked out fine


ICON: Did you do extra-curricular in Oxford as well?
I did a lot of extra curricular in Oxford. I did not, however, pursue my science society over there. In two years, I organized and worked very hard to host two national symposiums; one on Iqbal and the other on Indo-Persian poetry. These were very successful symposiums
With EE background, completion of Doctrate in the Most Difficult field of Today's Science Quantum Computation from the University like Oxford and that in just 2 years and demonstrated the World's First Liquid State Quantum Computer
