Asif Zaidi

Biography:

Dr. Asif Zaidi studied Laser Science at the Physics department of the University of Waterloo in Canada. He completed his Ph.D. in 2010. His Doctoral research involved studying Laser-Matter interactions of carbon-based materials and resulting polyyne formation. He published a chemical reaction mechanism in the laser field for polyyne formation in 2019 as a conclusion of experimental studies. He also worked on laser Ablation of solid materials as a post-doctoral researcher. He taught Physics after his post-doctoral study while keeping research contact with his Laser Laboratory at the University of Waterloo as an Adjunct Faculty. His present work is theoretical about the electronic energy estimation of hydrogen and hydrogen-like molecules. This is an effort to simplify difficult quantum mechanical molecular calculations using a particle wave approach. Using Compton electron wavelength, he published his ground state calculations for the first group of elements. This topic was published in the Journal of Material Science and Engineering in 2023. Dr. Zaidi is a distinguished professional and academic associated with the University of Waterloo, based in Canada. With a profound commitment to excellence in both research and education.
