Dr. Syed Muhammad Fahad Riaz

Syed Muhammad Fahad Riaz earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Karachi in 2016, with a specialization in climate dynamics through statistical modeling. He presently holds the position of Assistant Professor (Mathematics) in the Department of Sciences and Humanities at the National University of Computer & Emerging Sciences, Karachi, Pakistan. Prior to this role, he served in faculty positions at Iqra University, Karachi, Pakistan, from 2018 to 2021, and at the National University of Computer & Emerging Sciences, Karachi, Pakistan, from 2010 to 2018. 

His research interests have concentrated on the investigation of large-scale semi-permanent high- and low-pressure systems, commonly referred to as Atmospheric Centres of Action. Variations in the global circulation cause variations in the intensities and the morphologies of the atmospheric centers of action (COA). In turn, these systems influence atmospheric and oceanic circulations over their respective domains. The centers of action therefore provide links between variations on the global and regional scales. 

With over fifteen years of academic leadership experience, he has supervised numerous Ph.D. candidates and engaged in collaborative projects that examine ocean-atmosphere interactions.
