Dr. Faheel A. Hashmi

Assistant Professor

Dr. Faheel Hashmi received his PhD degree from Université de Toulouse III in year 2009 in the supervision of Prof. Aziz Bouchene. His dissertation title was “Propagation effects in atomic systems for long and short pulse regimes: Control of the optical response”. He is working in the field of theoretical quantum optics and is interested in propagation effects experienced by light pulses in atomic media, slow fast and backward propagating light, non-adiabatic optical transitions, wave shaping, and control of optical response. Before joining the Center he was serving the Punjab University Lahore as Assistant Professor.
