Omair Zubairi

Omair Zubairi received his B.S. and M.S. in Physics from San Diego State University. He obtained his Ph.D. in Computational Science from Claremont Graduate University and San Diego State University where he primarily worked on compact star physics Omair is currently an Assistant Professor of Physics at Wentworth Institute of Technology. His other research interests include general relativity, numerical astrophysics and computational methods and techniques.

Omair is a dedicated educator in physics and computational science. He has taught students from all backgrounds in many areas of physics from the introductory sequence to upper division courses where he incorporates numerical methods and computational techniques into each course. “By allowing students to see and apply numerical simulations to various topics covered in lectures, they are able gain to invaluable insight into the problem at hand.”
