After his Master’s degree at Brock University, his supervisor, Professor Ejaz Ahmed narrated that he encouraged him to do a PhD. Still, he could not continue at Brock University because the university at the time did not have a PhD program.

He recommended him to his colleague at the University of Victoria in British Columbia.

“I accepted at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Brock University in the M.Sc. program a few years ago. I encouraged him to do a Ph.D, (we did not have a PhD. program at Brock) so I suggested he attend U of Victoria, and I became his PhD. Co-Supervisor with Dr. Faruk Nathoo,” Professor Ejaz narrated.
