Muhammad Suhail Zubairy

Muhammad Suhail Zubairy, also known as M.S. Zubairy or M. Suhail Zubairy, (born 19th October 1952) (HI, SI, ASA, KIA, HP, Ph.D.), is a Pakistani physicist who has made pioneering research to the fields of Laser, Quantum and Theoretical physics. He co-authored and authored various books concerning heavily to the field of fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics.

A professor of physics at the Texas A&M University, Zubairy's research and work has been widely recognized by the Physics Community. In recognition of his efforts to present a positive image of Pakistan in physics world, Zubairy has been conferred with 2 high and national civil awards.

In 1967, Zubairy attended Edwardes College in Peshawar, where he received B.Sc. in physics in 1971.^[2] A brilliant and bright student of physics, Zubairy scored the high marks ever recorded in Peshawar University's board of matriculation system.^[3] He did his post-graduate research offered by the University of Peshawar. In 1971, he attended Quaid-i-Azam University. In 1974, he received his M.Sc. in quantum physics.^[4] The same year, he was awarded the HEC scholarship. He attended the University of Rochester was awarded his Ph.D. in physics under the supervision of Dr. Emil Wolf in 1978^[5] . His doctoral thesis was written on Study on the foundation of the theory of radiative energy transfer^[6] .

Zubiary has authored over 200 scientific articles, as well as standard textbooks such as "Quantum Optics". Zubairy is a professor of optical and thermal physics as well as quantum and laser physics ^{[7] [8]} . In 1978, he carried out his research in quantum electronics at University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona. At Arizona, he held a research and teaching position at the University of Arizona, Tucson's Optical Sciences Center . In 1980, Zubairy became a visiting scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics where he specialized in quantum optics dynamics ^[9] .

In 1984, Zubairy came back to Pakistan where he joined the Quaid-i-Azam University, he subsequently became an associate professor of physics and electronics. In 1985, Zubairy became an Adjunct professor at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, where he stayed there till 1985. He also held a senior research and teaching position of the Center for Advanced Studies of the University of New Mexico before joining the Quaid-i-Azam University.

In 1985, after carried out the sponsored research from the University of New Mexico and Arizona, Zubairy re-joined Qau where he became an associate professor, and in 1992, he was made a full professor of advanced studies in physics. Zubairy was made chairman of Department of Electronics at the Qau in 1988 which he still assumed his position to date^[10] . Zubairy's research interests and work has include the different fields of Physics. He has been engaged in the research to the fields of quantum optics and laser physics. He has been interested in quantum optical applications to quantum computing and quantum informatics. He has also been interested in quantum state measurement of the radiation field and sub-wavelength atom localization. His other interests include coherent atomic effects and quantum thermodynamics.

Zubairy is fellow of Pakistan Academy of Sciences and Optical Society of America, elected in both organizations in 1988. He also served as a chairman of Organizing Committee of the International Workshop on Laser and Quantum Optics, Nathiagali in 1994.

He is a member of International Centre for Theoretical Physics , National Advisory Committee, The Nucleus Journal (PINSTECH), Ministry of Science and Technology Delegation to USSR, and Science and Technology, Standing Committee on Laser and Fiber Optics, 1990^[11] . Due to his contribution to science and technology, Zubairy was awarded Pakistan's high civil national awards in 1993 and 2000^[12] .
