Profile
Dr Lubna holds a PhD in Mathematics from the University of York, UK. She has held positions as Visiting Research Fellow at the University of York and Schlumberger Research Fellow at the Mathematical Institute- University of Oxford, UK.
Teaching
In the institutions where I have worked, I have instructed classes and tutorials in a range of subjects, including
- Introduction to Number Theory
- Vector Calculus
- Probability and Statistics
- Representation theory
- Semigroup Theory
- Complex Analysis
- Formal languages and Automata theory
- Introduction to Model Theory
- Calculus I/II
- Multivariable Calculus/Differential Geometry
- Linear Algebra
- Analysis I/II
- Infinite Groups
- Commutative Algebra
- Engineering Mathematics Foundation and Undergraduate Level
Most recently, I have taught Statistics Modelling I (MTH520), Maths A (Sef040), Maths B (Sef041) and Essential Foundation (Sef026) Courses here at Queen Mary.
Research
Research Interests:
My principal research interests involve mathematical problems that arise in ``axiomatisability questions in group and semi-group actions, and model-theoretic properties of certain structures, known as Zariski geometries, arising from number theory and algebraic geometry''.
