He has held faculty position at University of Washington and postdoctoral positions at the University of Texas at Austin and at Harvard University.

Iqbal was awarded the Abdus Salam Award for physics for his work on super-string theory and its relationship with supersymmetry and gauge theories.[1]

gollark: You can even have procedural macros.
gollark: The features, well, are opt-in and work consistently.
gollark: It's somewhat problematic, but mostly it works nicely.
gollark: Traits are like Haskell typeclasses or whatever-else interfaces, and very neat.
gollark: Rust's good type systems means you can write stuff like `x.iter().map(|x| + 1).collect()`, which is way nicer than a for loop.
