As an experimental Laser Physicist, he has been involved in the study of the structure and dynamics of atoms, molecules, crystals and gaseous plasmas. These studies provide keen understanding of the laws governing the behavior of matter systems.
Dr. Naqvi has also taught courses on philosophy of science explaining the methodology of formulation of scientific theories.
Dr. Naqvi has a deep passion for understanding the spiritual aspect of man. He believes that mans central role on earth is to be a vicar of God; for establishing the kingdom of God on earth. Thus, not restricting himself to the study of material systems, he has dedicated years to the interdisciplinary study of the inner world of religion, mysticism and parapsychological phenomena.
Over the years, Dr. Naqvi has presented the New Scientific Islamic Theory of the Human Self at various universities and professional forums in USA, Malaysia, UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. In addition to the courses on philosophy of science and scientific method, he also conducted courses on scriptures including Quran and the Bible, mysticism and parapsychology. Dr. Naqvi taught at King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia where he conducted scientific research in laser spectroscopy of atoms, molecules and crystals. He later became involved in industrial research on lasers and opto-electronics. The journey of diversification took him to the consultancy and training in the field of ISO-based management systems on Quality, Environment, Food Safety and Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) studies in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Currently he resides in Jeddah with his wife and children.
