Noor Muhammad (1951-2004) was a notable mathematician who made original contributions to the fields of C*-algebras and the use of Topology in Functional Analysis. As a student of the distinguished Russian topologist, Grigory Barenblatt, he did significant work in topological algebras. Dr Noor Muhammad was Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. Asghar Qadir is a mathematician, physicist and economist who did his PhD in Twistor Theory under Roger Penrose (NL) in 1971. He works in Relativity, Astrophysics, Cosmology, Lie Analysis and Special Functions and was Professor of Mathematics at Quaid-i-Azam University and then Physics at the National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad. He is a Fellow of the Pakistan Academy of Sciences and was a Senior Fellow of the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics and Associate Member of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics. He is also a Distinguished National Professor of the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. Imran Parvez Khan is presently Visiting Faculty at Bahria University, Islamabad. Apart from having a diverse teaching experience, he has supervised undergraduate research projects on Teaching of Topology and Recreational Mathematics. His research area is Topological String Theory.
