Affiliations

  • Medicine is the most rewarding but also hardest field in which one may become a professional on account of rigorous and continuous education, updates, and developments. The challenging part for those who wish to pursue diagnostic medicine, is an inherent fear for Mathematics, Physics and the abstract equations forming the core of the concepts of Physics based on which all medical diagnostic machines work, starting from a thermometer and a blood pressure meter. So to help my potential medical professionals I started writing blogs on medical physics leveraging my physics, biophysics, engineering science, IT and myself obtained the Echocardiography practicing licenses Feel free to access my Blogs @ https://ahmadcameron.medium.com
  • Formal science education at secondary and senior secondary level require students to conduct experiments in physics, chemistry, biology, and earth sciences. But that requires a lot of investment in laboratories and the consumables needed for the students to conduct experiments and absorb the scientific concepts beyond the mathematical equations. By another pursuit I have initiated it to build "Virtual Experiments" under the concert of 'Augmented Reality'. I have started with a draft physics experiment to understand the force of friction.
  • My third interest is in Urdu poetry and to date I have around 20+ poems created so far.
