Rate My Professor Sardar Khan

Sardar Mohib Ali Khan, Ph.D., serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Kean University. With a robust academic background, he obtained his Doctor of Philosophy degree from the Abdus Salam School of Mathematical Sciences at GC University Lahore, Pakistan. His Ph.D. research, completed around 2009, centered on the algebraic properties of entire functions with coefficients in particular valued fields, a topic that underscores his proficiency in advanced algebraic techniques and complex function theory.

Khan's areas of expertise include algebra, applied algebra, polynomials, and power series. He has contributed to the mathematical literature through several peer-reviewed publications developed during his doctoral studies. Key works include 'Stanley's Conjecture for Critical Ideals,' co-authored with Azeem Haider (arXiv preprint 2009); 'Stability of the Euler Obstruction of a Function,' co-authored with Azeem Haider in the Boletín de la Sociedad Matemática Mexicana (Volume 17, No. 2); and 'Interpolation of Entire Functions,' co-authored with Ghiocel Groza and Azeem Haider. These publications address significant problems in commutative algebra, singularity theory, and interpolation theory for entire functions. At Kean University, Khan teaches a comprehensive range of undergraduate mathematics courses, such as Calculus, Linear Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, Differential Equations, Set Theory and Logic, Abstract Algebra, Galois Theory, Operations Research, Analytic Number Theory, and Introduction to Proofs. He also mentors undergraduate students in research endeavors, notably serving as faculty advisor for the project 'Structure of Zero Divisor Graphs,' presented at Kean University Research Days in 2024. Khan's teaching philosophy acknowledges that mathematics is often viewed as a dry subject, evoking fears in students about required courses, and emphasizes continuous learning through teaching for both students and instructors.
