I found out about IMM in 2023 through an advertisement. I then googled it and gathered more information, realizing it is a prestigious program. Since I wanted to pursue a degree in mathematics and specialize in this subject, this program was an excellent fit for me. Additionally, it was being offered at LUMS, my dream university in Pakistan. Therefore, I applied to this rigorous program.

My experience at IMM has been exceptionally positive. One of the main reasons is the rigorous routine, where for each subject, we have access to three instructors – one local and two foreign – who come from different countries. This diverse teaching team provides us with a global perspective on mathematics, enriching our understanding of course design and challenging assignments that truly refine our skills. I joined IMM in the 2023 batch, and my experience with all the teachers has been outstanding. In particular, I fondly remember Stefano Luzzatto and Charlene Kelle, who taught us dynamical systems, as well as Peter Steven Hagen and Dr. Spella, who delivered the algebra course with great expertise. Additionally, the topology course by Danielle Angella was delivered in an excellent manner.

My long-term professional goals include specializing in mathematics and becoming an instructor at a university. I aim to design excellent coursework, particularly for universities in Pakistan that are somewhat behind in this field. Additionally, I want to contribute to the advancement of mathematics education and research in the country by developing innovative teaching methods and fostering a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts among

I have several academic achievements, such as being a position holder throughout my undergraduate studies and became the medalist. In 2022, I participated twice at the national level. First, I won a gold medal in a mathematics Olympiad organized by BZU Multan. Second, I secured the 3rd position in a national-level undergraduate competition held by Punjab University.
