Mohammad Aslam Khan Khalil, M.A.K. Khalil or Aslam Khalil (born January 7, 1950) is a highly citedPakistani American theoretical physicist known for his leading research in atmospheric physics. Early in his career, he worked on quantum field theory of elementary particles. During the last three decades, he has worked on Global Change Science, including the physics, chemistry and biology of greenhouse gases and ozone depleting compounds. He is a professor of physics at Portland State University.
Born in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, India, Khalil's family migrated to Pakistan in 1952 where they settled in Abbottabad, Pakistan. He attended Burn Hall School in Abbottabad in the mid-1950s and Saint Placid's High School in Chittagong, East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) in the early 1960s. Khalil's family moved to the United States in 1963 where he graduated from Alexander Ramsey Senior High School in Roseville, Minnesota in 1966.
Mohammad Aslam Khan Khalil received his Bachelor of Physics degree from the University of Minnesota Institute of Technology, Minneapolis in 1970. In the same year he received a B.A. in Mathematics and a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Minnesota College of Liberal Arts. In 1972, he received his M.S. in Physics from Virginia Polytechnic Institute. Dr. Khalil was awarded a Ph.D in Theoretical Physics under the supervision of the Indian-American theoretical physicist Dr. E.C.G. Sudarshan from the Center for Particle Theory at the University of Texas, Austin in 1976. In 1979, Dr. Khalil received an M.S and a Ph.D in Environmental Science and Engineering from Oregon Graduate Center under the supervision of the American Botanist and Atmospheric Chemist, Dr. Reinhold A. Rasmussen.
