I joined the Department of Persian in 1997 and currently working as a Professor since 2012. I have also held the office of the Chairman, Department of Persian and the office of the Director, Institute of Persian Research, Aligarh Muslim University. My area of specialisation includes Classical Persian, Indo-Persian Literature, Modern Persian Literature, Rhetoric & Prosody, and Special Study of Iqbal.
I was awarded the President of India Award for Young Scholars, the Maharshi Badrayan Vyas Samman, in 2009.
I have written more than 40 research papers and have authored/edited 15 books. I am also a member of the editorial boards of numerous research and academic journals. I pioneered the department’s first-ever peer-reviewed research journal, Shakh-i-Nabat, in 2015.
I have organised 4 international seminars on various aspects of Persian Language and Literature in my official capacities.
