Muhammad Hamza Waseem is pursuing a DPhil in Condensed Matter Physics as a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford. His research revolves around quantum magnonics and hybrid quantum systems.
During his undergraduate studies in electrical engineering at UET Lahore, Hamza helped develop pedagogical optics experiments at PhysLab, LUMS, and contributed to research on optical metasurfaces at ITU Lahore. His senior year project on quantum physics led to a lab and a book. Hamza is a staunch advocate of science outreach and public engagement and helps the Khwarizmi Science Society organize the Lahore Science Mela, the biggest annual science festival in Pakistan. He also co-founded Spectra—an online magazine aimed at training popular science writers in Pakistan. Hamzaʼs academic interests lie in magnetism, optics, and science education, but he also enjoys studying mathematics and philosophy.
As a BTF Ambassador, he will advocate our cause to like-minded people and facilitate in BTF magazine and summer camp programs.
