Originally trained as an experimental physicist, I later had the unique opportunity to help create Pakistan’s first liberal arts and sciences university, Habib University, as a founding faculty member. There, I founded the interdisciplinary Integrated Sciences and Mathematics program, co-founded the Center for Transdisciplinarity, Design and Innovation, and later served as the founding Associate Dean for Teaching and Learning. Much of my work focused on rethinking curriculum, faculty development, learning experiences, and institutional systems in response to the changing realities of higher education.

Today, I serve as the first Chief Learning Officer at San Francisco Bay University, where my work spans AI-integrated learning, faculty development, curriculum redesign, and the design of more human-centered educational systems. At SFBU, I have helped shape a new transdisciplinary general education model built around ten “How To” courses designed to make the hidden curriculum more visible and intentionally develop durable human capabilities often valued but rarely made explicit within higher education.
