Study of our Universe is by no means an easy task. The complex astrophysical phenomena involved makes the problem very challenging and indeed knowhow of basic sciences, engineering, modeling and simulation is the minimal requirement for a better understanding of our Universe. The nucleosynthesis problem (r-, s-, p- and rp-process), evolution phases of stars and supernova explosions are few astrophysical phenomena that require microscopic calculation of weak interaction rates at high temperatures (of the order of billions of kelvin) and high densities (of the order of 1011 g/cm3). Besides we also need calculation of other input data before we can run the mega codes on supercomputers to model these phenomena.
Our group is part of a world-wide effort to microscopically calculate the inputs for these simulation and modeling codes. The group is mainly concerned with the calculation of nuclear data. The results are then given to collaborators running the simulation codes. Various nuclear models (e.g. QRPA, shell model) are employed to calculate the inputs. Numerical techniques, computer programming and understanding of the physical phenomena are the basic requirements in our group.

Each year since 1951, Nobel Laureates in Physics, Chemistry and Medicine have been meeting in Lindau, Germany, to discuss major issues of importance to their respective fields with young scientist from around the world.
In order to attend this prestigious meeting thousands of young scientists from across the globe apply to this meeting. After a rigorous multi-stage selection processes, the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting Council selected Dr. Muhammad Majid (former PhD student, CPMS Group, GIK Institute) to attend the 69th Nobel laureate meeting amongst 580 other young scientists from the whole world. A total of 41 Noble Laureates participated in the meeting to share their knowledge with young scientists of 89 different countries. This was the most exciting and rewarding meeting for Dr. Majid. After attending this prestigious event Dr. Majid understood the true Lindau spirit: Inspire, Educate and Connect.
The meeting included Nobel laureate lectures, panel discussions and poster sessions. The program featured interactive sessions including Agora Talks, Laureate Lunches, Science Walks that fostered dialogues between Nobel Laureates and young scientists. Dr. Majid found several opportunities to interact with Nobel Laureates and asked many questions about science, their discoveries, and his research area. He got the opportunity to participate in the breakfast hosted by South Africa and chaired by Nobel Laureate Brian P. Schmidt. The science walk was highly inspirational and provided Dr. Majid an opportunity to walk with Nobel Laureate Joseph H. Taylor.
The social and cultural gatherings, especially the Bavarian Evening hosted by the free state of Bavaria provided Dr. Majid the chance to meet young scientists of 89 heterogeneous cultures and a chance to interact with my colleagues from across the globe.
The Lindau meeting was the best week of Dr. Majid’s life. Such a gathering can only inspire one and motivate one to achieve more in life. This meeting provided Dr. Majid a big opportunity to interact with many Nobel Laureates and world best scientists.
Dr. Muhammad Majid is thankful to Dr. Muhammad Aftab Rafique (PIEAS), who arranged some special academic visits to different German universities and access to their laboratories. He is extremely grateful to HEC, Pakistan for the financial support. Dr. Majid is indebted to his supervisor Prof. Dr. Jameel-Un Nabi (Pro-Rector, GIK Institute and Group Leader CPMS) for giving him an opportunity to do his doctoral thesis under his kind supervision. The quality of PhD work under supervision of Prof. Dr. Jameel-Un Nabi led to selection of Dr. Majid in Lindau Meeting. Dr. Majid is also thankful to the Rector GIK for providing an environment which facilitates research culture.
