Biography

He has received M.Sc. and M.Phil. degrees in physics at the department of physics Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad, Pakistan in 2012, and 2014, respectively. In 2016 he enrolled as a Ph.D. scholar at the department of physics, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), as a theoretical physicist in the field of optical manipulation/optical tweezers. He has concluded his Ph.D. thesis entitled: "Novel applications of metamaterials and plasmonics to optical tweezing: directional scattering, chiral resolution and pulling forces" in 2020. Rfaqat's research is related to light-matter interaction, directional scattering, optical manipulation of metamaterials including the plasmonic chiral materials in optical tweezers. He studies optical manipulation and chiral resolution of structurally chiral materials, optical momentum transfer in optical tweezers, effective medium theories, Kerker conditions in metamaterials, Mie scattering theory, and optical pulling forces. He has also worked on wave packet dynamics in mono bi-layered graphene, in 2D lattice structures in the presence of a strong magnetic field at room temperature.
