Dr. Tayyab Imran​ ​heads the newly created laser research and development group (GoLD); our research mainly focuses on different types of laser system design and development. We are working on designing prototype gas, solid-state, and diode lasers for various applications in research and industry. We offer graduate and undergraduate projects on design simulation and building of prototype small scale lasers, including basic electronic instrumentation for laser systems and its applications. Present research interests are revolved around the development of gas, semiconductor and solid state laser systems.
