Education

Born in Karachi, Sindh, Naqvi received his elementary and intermediate education from different private schools of Karachi. With a scholarship, Naqvi attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study physics. In 1994, he received his double B.Sc. in Physics and Electrical Engineering with a minor in Mathematics from MIT. In 2000, Naqvi was awarded his Ph.D. in Theoretical physics also from MIT. His dissertation covered a vast part of research in string theory and Quantum gravity.

Career in Physics

After completing his formal education, he held post-doctoral positions at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Amsterdam before joining the University of Wales, Swansea in October 2005 as an assistant professor. He served at the University of Wales for around three years. He moved to LUMS SSE when it started in 2008 and left it in 2009. He later served at the Institute for Advanced Study as a member until 2011.

Career in Banking Industry

In 2011, Dr. Naqvi entered the investment banking industry, as a risk and regulatory quantitative analyst.

Research in Mathematical Physics

Dr Naqvi works on problems in mathematical physics, in particular string theory. One of the aims of string theory is to combine quantum mechanics and general relativity into a single coherent formalism.
