Farzana Aslam is a Pakistani physicist and astronomer. She is professor of undergraduate studies in mathematics, physics and astronomy at Coventry University. Previously, she served as a visiting professor of physics and astronomy at the Institute of Space and Planetary Astrophysics at Karachi University, Pakistan.

Aslam was born in Wah Cantt, a small city-town famous for its peaceful atmosphere, having the highest literacy rate. Farzana Aslam attended at Wah Cantt Engineering College. She took a transfer to the University of the Punjab and gained her first degree of Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in physics. She then moved to Islamabad where she attended Quaid-i-Azam University, where she was awarded master's degree (M.Sc.) in physics.

After her M.Sc., she later received her Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) in Laser and Quantum Physics from the same institute. Farazan then travelled to United Kingdom to attend the University of Manchester. In 2005, she received her double PhDs in physics and astronomy from School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Manchester. In 2005, she joined a vibrant physics group "Photon Physics Group" at the School of Physics and Astronomy where she specialised in Two-photon physics and Laser Photonics. She received her Ph.D. in laser physics in 2005.
