Two Faculty members of the Department of the Mathematics, International Islamic University Islamabad, Drs. Ambareen Afsar and Tariq Javed have successfully completed their Ph.D degree from Quaid-i-Azam University. It is worth mentioning that Dr. Tariq Javed and Dr. Ambreen Afsar have published 12 and 06 research papers respectively in HEC recognized ISI journals during their Ph.D studies. In another development, Prof. Javed Ahsan of the same department has published a book entitled, "A Homological Approach to the Theory of Monoids" of international level. This book is a new addition in Mathematics literature for the research students of pure Mathematics.

The first batch consisting of seven students have completed their MS in Mathematics, of these students, two have published their research work in the international journals recognized by HEC.

Dr. Rahmat Ellahi Chairman Department of the Mathematics, International Islamic University Islamabad, has published 12 papers in ISI approved journals of HEC in 2007-2008. The details of the papers are given below for the interested researchers.
