a PhD in Mathematical Neuroscience. He developed models of physiological systems, which included models of the
human brain, the
human heart and the human spinal column. He has over 38-year experience on the development of moiré techniques (an effective tool for the detection, the documentation, the follow up
and the quantification of curvatures
of spinal column, in particular, scoliosis). He
developed and implemented moiré systems at Malmö General Hospital, Malmö, Sweden and the James Whitecomb Riley
Hospital for Children, Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. He lectured on moiré
techniques at the Harvard
Medical School (United States), the
Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics (Italy), University of Karachi and the Aga
Khan University Medical College. He trained master anhropometists of
TAWANA PAKISTAN Project (2003), provided technical support to pediatricians at
the Nishtar Medical College, Multan (2004) and conducted training sessions for
the faculty and the students of Department of Special Education, University of
Karachi to obtain anthropometric measurements of special children (2006). He
has 67 research papers in peer-reviewed journals to his credit. He is a referee of Acta Paediatrica (Wiley) and Clinical Biomechanics (Elsavier). He is a member of editorial boards of FUUAST Journal of Biology and the Shield, both HEC-Recognized-Y-Category Journals.During 2012-2015, he was Member, Subject Committee, Physical Education, Health and Sport Sciences, National Testing Service, Pakistan.

She, also, remained Program Head of Department of Mathematics for some time. She is involved in research work trying to validate the concept of optimal mass, which she put forward in 2011 as part of KJK (Kamal-Jamil-Khan) Model dealing with Growth-and-Obesity Profiles of children based on a single checkup. This work formed the basis of
