Dr. Raza Syed

Assistant Professor

PhD, Northeastern University, Boston, United States

Raza M. Syed has a deep passion for teaching physics and enjoys pushing his students' problem-solving and critical thinking skills to the maximum. His current research focus is in building unified models of particle interactions that utilize mainly the framework of supersymmetric grand unification theory using the gauge group SO (10). In his spare time he likes to read as much as possible on his favorite subject outside of physics'human psychology.
