Amer Iqbal is a Pakistani American theoretical physicist. He is primarily known for his work in string theory and mathematical physics.

Biography

Iqbal is a professor of physics and mathematics at the Abdus Salam School of Mathematical Sciences. He was an associate professor of physics and mathematics at the School of Science & Engineering at the Lahore University of Management Sciences from September 2009 to August 2015.[1] Before that, he was an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of Washington, Seattle.

Iqbal has a M.Sc. in Mathematics from Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad and Doctorate in Theoretical physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He carried out his doctoral research under the supervision of Barton Zwiebach. He has held postdoctoral positions at the University of Texas at Austin and at Harvard University.

Iqbal was awarded the Abdus Salam Award for physics for his work on super-string theory and its relationship with supersymmetry and gauge theories.[2]
