Hi, I'm Rana Zaman Ahmed!

I'm a mathematician, physics educator, and science communicator working to make mathematics and physics accessible to people without formal training in either.

I'm currently pursuing an MPhil in Physics at Government College University, Lahore, having completed my BS in Mathematics at the University of the Punjab. Alongside my studies, I teach college physics.

I run Infinitum.Sci, where I break down one physics concept each week for audiences on Instagram and Facebook, and write longer pieces on the Infinitum.Sci blog. The aim is simple: explain the ideas without the intimidation that usually surrounds them.

I've been involved with the Lahore Science Mela, Pakistan's largest citizen science festival, since 2022, as a demonstrator running experiments in acoustics in November 2022, and as an invited speaker delivering a public talk in October 2023 and 2025. That work led to an invitation from Dr. Farida to sit on the jury of the 6th Regional Young Physicist Tournament at the University of Lahore in October 2023, and again at the 8th National Physics Tournament And since then I have become a permanent Jurist.

My route into physics came through mathematics. I chose relativity and quantum mechanics as final-year electives — unusual in my cohort — and built on that foundation with certified coursework through edX and Coursera. I've since presented at different conferences and at several science exhibitions.

My interests span number theory, algebra, quantum mechanics, relativity, gravitation, particle physics, and astrophysics, with a particular focus on the nature of gravity and its unification with the other fundamental forces. This website collects my projects, lectures, reading, and writing along the way.
