Dr. Muzammil Arshad Arain

(Ph.D. and M.S. University of Central Florida, 2002)
Proud Moment for Pakistan | another scientist who contributed to gravitational waves discovery
Bravo! Yet another name in the world’s most remarkable scientific discovery of gravitational waves is
the contribution of Dr. Muzammil A Arain, a Pakistani born scientist, who had worked with
researchers at the US-based underground detectors Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave
Observatory (LIGO) Laboratory for building complex sensors that observed ripples formed by the
collision of black holes more than a billion years ago.
His contribution and research work has been acknowledge as an important contribution by LIGO’s
official news release (http://www.phys.ufl.edu/ligo/#home/page/press201601) of Feb 11, 2016 as
following:
“An important contribution was a breakthrough design of the recycling cavities of the interferometer by Mueller and
postdoctoral research associate Muzammil Arain. Called “stable recycling cavities,” this approach improved the quality of
the optical beam in the interferometer and reduced sensitivity to mirror surface errors and environmental disturbances”.
MUZAMMIL ARAIN earned his B. Engg. in Electrical Engineering from the N.E.D. University of Engineering & Technology,
Karachi, Pakistan in 1998. He was subsequently employed as Electrical Power Engineer first at National Refinery Limited and
the Hub Power Company Limited, Pakistan.
He joined the Photonics Information Processing Systems (PIPS) Lab at College of Optics/CREOL, University of Central Florida
in fall 2001. He received his M.S. in Optics (Summer 2002) and continued as a Doctoral candidate under Prof. Nabeel A. Riza.
His research is focused on innovative use of interference phenomenon in the field of photonic information processing and optical
communications. He has demonstrated a novel holography based optical scanner called Code Multiplexed Optical Scanner (CMOS) to be used in free space laser-communication and 3-D display technology. He has also worked on the implementation of
RF transversal filters in optical domain and angstrom precision optical path length measurement instruments using
interferometric based opto-electronic techniques. He is currently pursuing active research in optical sensors.
Muzammil Arain has actively published and presented his work in a number of distinguished journals and conferences. He has
earned a number of competitive awards and honors for his professional and extra-curricular excellence along the way. He was
recognized by the Government of Pakistan in the form of a President Talent Scholarship Award (1989) and University Merit
Scholarship from N.E.D. University (1994). More recently, he is the recipient of the of 2004 SPIE Educational Scholarship along
with the prestigious 2004 IEEE LEOS Graduate Fellowship.
